Rutland County Council has some tough choices to make after huge cuts in the amount of funding the county receives from central government.The county is in the process of making £3 million of savings this financial year with further cuts to follow of at least £2.1 million over the next two financial years.
All of this has prompted a thorough review of all council services and local residents are now being asked to give their views on a series of cost-saving measures.
Details of proposed savings will appear on councils webpage from Monday 10 January as part of a two week countywide consultation (until 23 January 2011) including an online survey, roadshows, and meetings with specific groups (e.g. youth council).
