Have your say on cash

WANT a say on how Islington Council spends your money?
Residents and business owners are asked to respond to a budget consultation questionnaire that is available at www.islington.gov.uk and is also published in today’s Islington Tribune
The council is encouraging as many residents to take part as possible, so that the responses accurately represent local views. The council will take the results into account when it decides spending plans for 2006/07.
Steve Hitchins, leader of Islington Council, said: “We have a strong commitment to listening to the views of everyone who lives here and uses our services, so that we can make sure the council meets people’s needs.
“We are asking individuals, families and businesses to help us take the difficult decisions that face every council, as well as highlighting which services they value above others.
“The feedback we receive will help us spend our funds wisely, provide value for money and keep council tax levels down.”
A prize draw for £150 in gift vouchers is open to everyone who completes and returns the questionnaire by 5 December.
The Islington Tribune is carrying the budget consultation questionnaire, which takes only a few minutes to fill out and send off to the freepost address supplied.
Residents are asked to put different council services in order of priority and asked to choose between improved levels of services and higher council tax, or for services to be maintained at current levels, with a lower council tax increase.
