As City Mayor of Salford, I am committed to sharing information openly and listening to your views.
I want to know how you think we provide services in the future, and most importantly what is important to you. This is vital in helping to shape how the council works and provides services to you.
These pages provide information on the opportunities and the financial challenges the council is facing. We outline the priorities that I have been committed to and we have also set out the council’s current budget position. This provides the background to how we can fund services.
I want to encourage you to join this conversation and to provide feedback. At this stage we want to understand what really matters to you and whether this has changed since 2018. This will help us to develop more detailed and specific budget proposals. We will share these proposals later in the year, with a further opportunity for you to give us feedback.
Our city is changing which provides opportunities and challenges and shapes my commitments as City Mayor and our budget thinking. My priorities are summarised by the Great Eight which we updated this year to make clearer our commitments and focus our work.

We have shared information about what we have done on the previous version of the Great Eight in Life in Salford.
I would like to hear your views on what is most important to you in 2021.
