Budget proposals 2017/18
As part of our budget planning for 2017/18, a set of infographics was developed and used to seek your views on a range of service themes.
Each of them painted a picture of a different part of council budget-setting. For example, there was a section on the pressures that the council faces, one which focused on Council Tax, and one which laid out some future opportunities.
For each proposal there was a survey with a short set of questions to give you the opportunity to make your voice heard.
The results were passed to Councillors who, in turn, used them to inform their decision-making for the coming financial year.
Our budget for 2017/18 was set on Thursday, 9th February 2017.
