Still time to take part in council's 2027 Budget survey

This year, the council is facing a potential budget gap of up to £8.3 million next year.

The local authority is seeking the public's views on plans to:

• Maintain alignment of teaching resources to the pupil roll, which could see a loss of 13 jobs.
• Review funding levels for Employability & Skills, with plans to find alternative funding sources.
• Review Active Schools provision in North Ayrshire, with temporary contracts not being renewed.
• Review council fees and charges across services, with a three per cent increase proposed for marriages, hall lets and licensing and planning applications.

You can share your views by taking part in the survey here. It will run until 5pm on Friday, December 11.

The feedback received will help inform councillors when they meet to set the Budget early next year.
