Consultations - Service and Financial Planning (Budget Plans) 2015/16 to 2017/18

Residents, visitors and service users of Telford and Wrekin Borough

Every year the Council agrees a budget plan. We need your help to make some of the toughest budget decisions this Council has ever faced. As Government grants are cut still further, by 2016 we must cut another £22 million from the Council’s budget.

We will be carrying out the budget consultation in a wide variety of ways, including:

• A series of Budget Roadshow events around the Borough

• Using “Your Voice” to communicate the main budget proposals with the aim of informing every household in the Borough

• Signposting opportunities for people to get involved and give their views on the budget strategy

• An online budget survey on the budget page of the Council website

• Facebook, Twitter, write in, ring in or text in your views and comments

• A postal survey of the Community Panel

• Meetings with a range of groups and organisations

• Ongoing press releases

We are holding series of Budget Roadshow events around the Borough, more details can be found at www.telford.gov.uk/budget

If you’re unable to come to give us your views you can still get involved in a number of other ways including a budget survey at www.telford.gov.uk/budget where there is also more information about our budget plans. You can also give us your views by

• Email to yourviewsmatter@telford.gov.uk
