Powys County Council is asking residents of the county to have their say on budget proposals for 2015/16.
The council wants to monitor opinions before they are decided upon by councillors and have launched an online survey which can be found at www.powys.gov.uk.
In September and October, the council (in partnership with the Powys teaching Health Board) held a series of budget and community delivery events for Powys people to have a say on how it should address the severe financial challenges facing the council over this coming year (2015/2016) and the rest of the decade.
The key findings are on the council website at www.powys.gov.uk/en/
Your suggestions on how to save money included
Councillor Dai Davies is Cabinet Member with responsibility for finance and he explained: “Following on from the events council officers have now firmed up some final proposals for this coming year's budget. A number reflect the views given by you and aim to reduce what we spend without drastically effecting the provision of a service valued by residents. A service may look different or be accessed in a different way but it will still exist or it may require people to contribute something towards it whereas previously it was free of charge.
“We now want to hear your views on some of the key proposals before the council sets its budget. So that we can feed this information in, we need to hear your views by 8am on February 2 2015,” added Cllr. Davies.
