Suffolk Coastal budget consultation - what would you do to bridge our budget gap? |
1. About this questionnaire
Suffolk Coastal District Council want your views on the services we deliver. The financial position facing this Council is starker than ever and we are facing tough decisions in order to balance our budgets, which is why we need help from our communities.
We are continuing to review all our services and would be grateful for your views on what is important to you, your family and your communities.
The financial situation demands innovative solutions - we have already been pioneers in sharing services and working in partnership, particularly with Waveney District Council - and we have to look even more at how, or indeed whether, we deliver our services in the future. Can you help us find these solutions?
Are there areas we should move resources away from? Are there areas where we should focus more of our resources to help encourage growth and improve the lives of Suffolk Coastal residents? Could some of our services be run by someone else?
This questionnaire has been created to be as straightforward as possible to understand and complete. Essentially, we are asking you to take a look at the range of services we deliver and form a view on how your money should be spent.
Take a look at the questionnaire and answer each question as how it affects you or your community. You have until Tuesday, 3 January and your answers and comments will be shared with our councillors and senior officers as they draw up the budgets and services for 2012/13 and the years ahead.
