Budget Consultation: 2020 Vision

As part of the Council’s commitment to ‘Working together with the people of East Dunbartonshire’, we are seeking your views on our Council priorities and how we should balance the Council’s budget for 2020/2021. We want to achieve three things through this budget engagement exercise: 

  1. Raise awareness of our financial position – the savings we’ve made and the savings we know we will need to make in future 
  2. Gather your views on both our established Council priorities and commitments and what you think our future priorities should be 
  3. Hear your thoughts on Council Tax increases and potential charging increases in the coming years 

The budget consultation will run from 23 August to 22 September and drop-in sessions are being held on the following dates:

We would encourage you to complete the survey online, but if you prefer, you can pick up a paper copy in any of our Community Hubs in Bearsden, Bishopbriggs, Lennoxtown or Kirkintilloch, where it can also be handed in. Alternatively you can post the paper copy to the address provided on that survey.
