The council is confronting one of the toughest financial challenges in its history due to the difficult economic context.
Despite this, the council remains committed to protecting vital services and building a sustainable future for our borough.
Like councils across the country, Bury faces rising costs and increasing demand, particularly in adults’ and children’s social care, where more people than ever need support.
What happens next?
After the deadline, we’ll review all feedback. This will help shape the final version of the guidance, which we’ll publish after the consultation ends.
