Have Your Say on East Riding Council's Budget

RESIDENTS ARE INVITED to have their say on the council’s budget priorities for the forthcoming financial year 2012/13 at its annual budget events.

In November and December, budget events will be held in Beverley, Brough and Bridlington, which aim to get residents involved, see what the council’s plans are for the coming year and find out more about how the budget is used.

Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE, leader of the council, said:

“We recognise that residents have their own views on what they think our priorities should be and would like to invite people to join us and share those opinions. Large scale reductions in Government funding mean that setting a budget for 2012/13 which enables us to continue providing quality services to residents will be more challenging than ever. However, due to good financial planning the council is in a better position than most comparable councils to meet the challenge.” 

 The events will take place on:

• Monday, 21 November 2011, 10am-1pm, at Beverley Leisure Centre 
• Thursday, 1 December 2011, 1-4pm, at Bridlington Spa 
• Friday, 9 December 2011, 10am-1pm at Brough Business Centre.
