Newport City Council has considered its budget and set out a number of proposals for delivering services in 2024 - 2025. Newport Live is a contracted partner of Newport City Council and received £1.9m during the year 2023 - 2024 towards our operating budget, which is in the region £10m, to manage its facilities, and sport, leisure, theatre, arts and cultural services including those delivering in community settings.
In 2023 - 2024 Newport Live received a budget reduction of £217k. Newport City Council in 2024 - 2025 is proposing a reduction in Newport Live’s management fee of £194k, which reflects a 10% reduction in funding from the Council.
The Council is now running a public consultation which ends on the 9 February 2024 on their budget proposals for 2024 - 2025.
There is an opportunity for you to respond to the budget consultation via the Council’s website, Have Your Say - Newport City Council and Newport Live would encourage you to complete the survey together with reviewing the other proposals that could affect you as residents and service users.
The full details of the proposal can be found on page 86 of the Newport City Council, Public Document Pack.
