As balancing the budget becomes increasingly difficult, Colchester Borough Council needs to make some tough decisions that will impact on you as local residents.
Residents’ views are critical in helping the Council to shape the future of its services and Colchester Borough Council would like you to share your priorities with them. Simply tell them which services are most, and least, important to you.
Say what you think. Complete the quick questionnaire by visiting www.colchester.gov.uk/yourcolchester or share your ideas on Twitter at www.twitter.com/yourcolchester.
The questionnaire asks you to state the 3 most- and 3 least-important services to you from the folowing list:
- Activity Centres
- Arts and Culture
- Benefits
- Building Control
- Business and Economic Development
- Car Parks
- CCTV
- Cemetery and Crematorium
- Community Support
- Council Tax
- Customer Service Centre
- Housing and Homelessness
- Licensing
- Mayoral and Civic Duties
- Museums and Heritage
- Parks and Recreation
- Planning
- Planning and Transportation Policy
- Regeneration
- Sport and Leisure
- Street Cleaning
- Street Wardens
- Support Services
- Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour
- Tourism
- Waste and Recycling Collection
It also invites you to contribute any ideas you might have to save money or increase income.
The questionnaire will be available to complete until 4 October 2010. The Council will then collate and consider your responses as part of the first stage of its budget consultation.
