The SBC financial strategy available at "See Link Below" said: "The Council’s Budget Survey was available from 20 December 2024 to 2 February 2025. Feedback from the survey has regularly been fed back to Members to inform their budget considerations." Can you please share what feedback SBC received which relates to the provision of small-setting nursery and primary schools across the Scottish Borders?
For example, did the Council receive or discuss any public feedback on the at-risk nursery settings currently at risk of mothballing due to the 15th April Exec Committee decision to proceed on a mothballing consultation?
Please share the raw feedback as well as any analysis undertaken on trends, themes, key exec recommendations obtained through the Budget Survey feedback data.
