Budget consultation 2008-09 - what we did
Phase 1
Phase 1 took place between July and September 2007. It involved online, paper and on-street surveys looking at residents’ broader priorities for the budget. Over 600 people took part in this research.
Phase 2
The second phase of the research took place in November and December of 2007 and involved residents being consulted on detailed proposals being put forward by the council for public consideration.
