Have Your Say - 2026/27 Budget
West Northamptonshire Council is inviting residents to share their views on its proposed budget for 2026/2027. Through the Your Money, Your Say initiative, residents can comment by completing an online survey or by taking part in an online discussion session.
This year’s budget includes proposals that could have a direct impact on Brackley residents, so it is well worth taking the time to review the information and provide feedback. All comments received will help inform the final budget decisions, which will be voted on at the West Northamptonshire Council Full Council meeting on Thursday 26 February 2026.
Key issues affecting Brackley include proposals for a new paid long-term car park and the introduction of pay-and-display parking along Brackley High Street. Residents are encouraged to read through the proposals and submit their views before the public consultation closes on Tuesday 3 February 2026.
How to have your say..?
The easiest way to share your views is by completing the online budget survey. Follow the link below to submit your feedback to West Northamptonshire Council and help shape future decisions for Brackley.
You do not need to answer every question. The survey is split into sections, allowing you to comment only on the areas that matter most to you. However, the ‘About You’ section must be completed in order to submit your response.
You can also submit your comments by email or post:
