Portfolio Question Time
Budget 2025-26 (Aberdeenshire Council)
Finance and Local Government
The 2025-26 budget provides local government in Scotland with record funding of more than £15.1 billion. As a result of the Scottish budget, Aberdeenshire Council received a record funding settlement worth £627.7 million to support day-to-day services. How that funding is deployed to deliver local services, statutory duties and nationally agreed priorities is of course a matter for locally elected members.
