We have delivered our final budget for Waverley Borough Council 1️⃣ 2.99% increase in council tax on the Waverley part of your bill. The Waverley share of your council tax bill is around 10% (with 75% of the bill being Surrey County Council, 13% the Police and Crime Commissioner and the remainder set by towns and parishes in Waverley). 2️⃣ NO CUTS TO SERVICES for the 6th year in a row, a 2-year balanced budget and NO BAD DEBT (making Waverley practically unique in Surrey).

3️⃣ £150,000 of ADDITIONAL funding for local community services and voluntary organisations with the potential for more to following. 4️⃣ FREE Blue badge parking from April 1st 2026. 5️⃣ 10p raise on the first hour in our 14 busiest car parks with a reduction by as much as £1.10 in the all-day rate of many of the car parks local workers and commuters use. Less than a 1% rise overall. 6️⃣ Continued social housing building programme and upgrades to kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors in our existing properties.

We are proud to announce a balanced final budget for Waverley Borough Council, in spite of inflation and rising costs, rounding off seven years of sound financial management by the Lib Dems since taking office.
