Carlisle City Council Budget

Local residents asked to have their say

(Date of issue: Wednesday, 07 January 2009)

Carlisle residents have until next Wednesday (14 January) to register their opinions on City Council spending.

Carlisle City Council’s Executive Committee agreed to consult local residents on this year’s City Council draft budget last December, which shows an increase of 3.5% for Council tax (2009/2010).

The Executive drew together their budget proposals and is now seeking local comment. These will be considered as part on the ongoing budget process and will be assessed by the Executive later this month (Monday, 17 January).

The final budget proposals will be discussed at Carlisle City Council’s Full Council on Tuesday, 3 February.

A copy of the draft Executive budget is available to view at the Civic Centre’s Customer Contact Centre and is also available here.

Any comments need to be sent to Town Clerk & Chief Executive, Carlisle City Council, Civic Centre, Carlisle, CA3 8QG by Wednesday, 14 January.
