Labour Budget 2024

The Labour government has presented a budget that, while claiming to support working families in Great Yarmouth and strengthen public services, raises serious concerns about the direction of our economy and the impact on communities and businesses locally. While investment in key areas is vital, this budget relies heavily on increased borrowing and higher taxes, with policies that could place unnecessary strain on businesses, homeowners, and local councils.

We want to hear from you. This budget will impact every one of us, and your views are essential in helping us represent our community’s needs effectively. That’s why we’ve created a survey to gather your feedback on Labour’s budget and understand how you feel it will affect you, your family, and local businesses. 

Please take a moment to complete the survey and let us know your thoughts – together, we can work towards a brighter future for our community.
