Budget Consultation - 2015

What we're doing

This time last year, we held a two phase budget consultation, which helped our councillors to make decisions on our 2015-16 budget. Because you gave us your feedback on many future options and ideas last year, we can continue to use your ideas to help us make decisions for 2015-16 and beyond. We are now developing new ways of working as we start our journey to become your New Council. We'd like your help to 'weigh up' some options for how we do things differently.

When we're doing it?

Between 26-Oct-2015 and 06-Dec-2015

We will be

  • Asking for information
  • Giving out/sharing information

Themes

  • Customer experiences

More information on what we're doing

We need the council's budget to best support our three key priorities for Kirklees:
- supporting communities to do more for themselves and each other,
- keeping vulnerable people safe and helping them to stay in control of their lives, and
- focusing on the things that only the council can do.

Taking part will help us to understand what you support the most, and least.

The consultation is open for 6 weeks (26th October - 6th December 2015)

What happened?

1410 people took part in this consultation - thank you to everyone that gave their views!

The most popular of the 12 options we asked about were:

-Parents have a clear responsibility for getting their children to school safely

-I think the council should help to maximise disabled people's independence by helping them do more for themselves

-I think that the council should use modern technology to deliver services and reduce costs wherever possible.
