Council budget blog launched
A budget blog opened on The Highland Council’s web site: www.highland.gov.uk,
giving the public the chance to have their say on options for achieving major
savings over the next three years. The Blog page can be found HERE: http://www.highland.gov.uk/yourcouncil/news/blog/
The blog, fronted by the Council’s Budget Leader Councillor David Alston, is an
important part of the Council’s budget consultation which will run until the
end of June.
The blog begins with discussion topics on education and will continue with new
topics every 10 days.
The Council aims to make decisions on the budget savings in the autumn of this
year.
Councillor Alston said: “We have posed some big questions in our consultation
documents and intend engaging with as wide an audience as possible in
addressing the budget challenges we will face over the coming years.
“This is the first time we have used the web to engage with the public on the
Council’s budget and I am sure we will attract a large number of constructive
suggestions as to how we can achieve the savings required over the coming
years. Already some very good ideas are coming forward.”
