Investing in Nottinghamshire

From 2025/26 onwards, the council is projecting a budget shortfall of £36.0m across the duration of our Medium-Term Financial Strategy, to 2027/28.

We have a proven track record in balancing our budgets and saving money. We’ve delivered £125 million of savings since 2015/16 by changing the way we deliver some of our services. We’re also working to reduce pressures on our budget, whilst investing in services that help to reduce demand for expensive care for people in Nottinghamshire.

We’re working to keep children safe at home wherever possible and to get more children who need specialist care into long-term family-based placements, including foster families and kinship care. Family-based placements improve children’s life chances and cost the council less.

Investing in our roads also helps us to boost the economy and deliver better value to the taxpayer. For example, we build major new roads and junctions that will support people and businesses. We’re also changing the way we maintain our 2,500 miles of roads to reduce costs and improve our service. You can see a wide range of achievements in our  Annual Report 2023-2024.
