Phase 1 – pre-budget engagement and consultation to help to shape the draft budget will start in October 2013 and run until mid November, and will consist of:
a) a survey distributed with the October edition of the Arrow;
b) an online survey on the City Council website – www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk;
c) a programme of pre-budget engagement events with citizens and with the voluntary and community sector which will be led by Portfolio Holders;
d) engagement with Nottingham City Council colleagues.
Some questions may also be added to the 2013 Nottingham Citizens’ Survey to gather additional insight to feed into the pre-budget consultation where appropriate.
Phase 2 - consultation on the draft budget proposals will occur during January and early February 2014 and provides the opportunity to view, challenge and propose alternatives to specific proposals. Specifically it will involve:
a) a budget consultation form which will be made available online and in hard copy to enable everyone to have their say on the proposals;
b) events in neighbourhoods across the City;
c) consultation with businesses;
d) events for the voluntary and community sector and One Nottingham partners.
