Have Your Say on the City Council’s 2012/13 Budget
Last year Nottingham City Council had a real-term cut of around £60 million in its grant from the government. This year the Council predicts the reduction in its budget for 2012/13 may be around £20 million.
As it did last year, Nottingham City Council is asking its citizens and partners for their views on which Council services they think are important and where they think savings could be made.
Your responses will help the Council again as it tries to meet the huge challenges that it faces due to the spending reductions which could have major implications for the services it provides for Nottingham citizens.
