You Choose 2011
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).
Public Meeting - Register your details
Registration is also now OPEN for a public question time taking place on Wednesday 19 January 2011 at Rutland County Museum between 7pm and 9pm.
