Police Budget Consultation 2025/26

/in /by
Please see a note and survey from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.
‘With news of the funding we receive from Government for the year ahead being confirmed over the last few days, the hard work of planning the budget for 2025/26 is now advancing (despite the festive period!).
While central government grants make up around 53% of the total funding, the remaining portion comes from local taxpayers through the Police Precept element of Council Tax bills. It’s therefore really important that we hear the views of local residents before the Police and Crime Commissioner proposes the budget for the year ahead, setting the amount that residents will have to pay.
To gather these views, we have set up a simple survey to seek feedback on several options for the Precept level from anyone who lives within Warwickshire. We want as many residents as possible to take part and give their feedback, so any help you can give spreading the word among your local community will be much appreciated.
With kind regards,
Neil Tipton
Head of Media and Communications
Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Warwickshire’
