Residents of Waltham Forest are being asked to take part in a mass budget conversation in which they can say what services they want Waltham Forest Council to spend its budget on.
Waltham Forest Council has saved £30 Million over the past 3 years but with the recent spending review, the council estimate they will have to save a further £65 Million in the next FOUR years.
So Councillor Chris Robbins, Leader of Waltham Forest Council – has taken the unusual, but quite refreshing step of writing to the residents of the borough, offering them a chance to see how the current budget is spent, where the money comes from and most importantly – how they would like to see it spent in future.
There are several road shows available to assist completion of the online tool and ask any questions about things you may not fully understand within the questionnaire.
Due to the massive scale of the operation and the complexity of the information involved within the online tool, it is not possible to obtain a copy of this questionnaire in paper format. Plus it would be better for the environment this way.
Visit the Waltham Forest Council Website for information on where library drop in sessions will occur, road show dates and more information.
Have your say before 26th November!
