Tell us your ideas for how we might make further savings

Increasing Council Tax would partly help meet rising costs and demand for our services, but savings would still be needed to balance our budget. We have made over £810m worth of savings since 2010 and continue to look for more ways to save money across our services and the council as a whole. 

We want to hear your ideas. To help get you started, we have added some ideas of our own. Please feel free to add a comment and like these ideas or add your own. Before you add an idea, please check to see if someone else has already added it and like theirs instead. You can do this by using the 'Search for ideas' function.
