The Financial Situation
Powys County Council is currently forecasting a funding shortfall, based on national fiscal analysis, of more than £9.6 million for the next financial year with that figure rising to £50.9 million or more over the next four years.
This leaves a considerable gap in our available finances and means we can't afford to continue delivering our services in the same way.
In previous years we have looked to our services to become more efficient. Whilst changes have been made, this approach is not sustainable in the long-term and we now need to be more radical and change our approach.
What services does Powys County Council currently provide and what does this cost?
The Council provide hundreds of services across the county. From maintaining roads, waste and recycling, educating learners, planning applications and so much more. You can find out more, including a graphic on our current spend per service, by visiting: How we spend money
