BROMLEY: Have your say on council spending

8:03am Monday 11th October 2010 in News

PEOPLE can have their say about what the council should spend its money on at a series of public meetings next month.

Bromley Council's leader Stephen Carr wants to talk and listen to everyone who lives and works in the borough as the council sets the budget for the next financial year.

The meetings, which are from 7.30pm to 9pm, will take place on November 17 at Beckenham Public Hall, Beckenham; November 17 at Orpington Methodist Church and November 25 at the Civic Centre, Bromley.

Cllr Carr said: “I want as many people living and working in Bromley to come along and talk about what matters to them, what services they value most in our borough and where they think the money should be spent.

"In these challenging times I am determined that as a council we continue to give value for money, to reduce waste in any form by looking at how we do things and how we deliver our services.

"As ever we will do all we can to keep council tax low while minimising any impact on frontline services.

"Bromley Council exists to serve our people, to strive for excellence in their eyes and as we continue Building a Better Bromley it is imperative we listen and respond to their views for the good of our borough and our future.”
