Balancing the books: budget consultation 2014

What we're doing

We are part way through making some big changes to modernise your council whilst also making the budget reductions we need to. To help us plan, there will be 2 phases of public consultation this Autumn. Phase 1 (Sept 2014) is an initial consultation on some broad principles. Phase 2 (Nov 2014) will focus on specific budget options. We will report back on both phases to full-Council in January and councillors will make their final budget decisions in February 2015.

When we're doing it?
