Gateshead Council's Draft Budget 2010/11 - public consultation
The first round of consultation (titled "Delivering Vision 2030 – Public consultation on Gateshead Council’s draft spending plans 2010-13") considered a range of scenarios developed to respond to what will undoubtedly be a period of reduced public spending.
This first stage of consultation has now been completed and the outcomes formed part of a report to the Council’s Cabinet on 19th January 2010. The consultation has also informed the next stage of developing savings proposals for 2010/11, which were also reported to the Council’s Cabinet meeting.
Given known spending pressures, the Council has relatively little flexibility. However, as a result of the consultation, the Council has now published a range of savings options.
The consultation period closed on February 12th 2010. Following the consultation, the 2010/11 budget will be agreed by Cabinet on 22nd February and Council on 25th February.
