Residents have the chance to get involved in deciding how money is
spent in their areas at the next round of neighbourhood councils in
December and January.
Residents

Hampton council areas had the chance to help set spending priorities
during the last round of meetings in September. An update will be

People in
all other council areas have the chance to help agree how their
neighbourhood council uses its budget at the December and January
meetings.
The
Fletton, Stanground and Woodston and Ortons with Hampton council
areas will also hear about the progress of youth forums for each
area. The forums will give young people a voice by working with the
neighbourhood council for that area.
Another
item on the agenda for all the councils will be Peterborough City
Council’s budget proposals for 2011/12. You can hear more about the
plans and have your say on proposed investments and efficiencies for
the coming financial year.
Councillor
Marco Cereste, leader of Peterborough City Council, said: "This is a
great opportunity for residents to have their say on the priorities
for spending in their area. Residents of an area are well placed to
identify where money would be best spent, so if something is
important then the neighbourhood council is the ideal forum to let
us know.
"The next
round of meetings also offers the chance to hear our budget
proposals for 2011/12 in more detail and to ask any questions of our
finance team. This will help prepare residents for having their say
in the ongoing budget challenge consultation."
