Every year, we ask the residents and businesses of Devon and Somerset to take part in our precept survey. The answers we get will help decide how much funding we receive from your council tax in 2025/26.

Every 1% increase to council tax precept amounts to almost seven hundred thousand pounds to the Service this year, so by clicking the link in the comments below and spending five minutes to complete the survey, you can make a real impact on our funding.

The survey is open until 3 December.
