Wigan MBC are now asking for suggestions to where these cuts should be made.
If you can think of an area of Wigan MBC budget that can be safely cut without any loss to the overall services provided you may do that here
The Spending Challenge – submit your savings ideas
Public sector services are facing testing times, and up and down the country local people, including council staff, are contributing to the debate about where in the public sector money can be saved.A public sector that is only 75 per cent of what it is today will need to be one that takes a more limited role and one that offers targeted support only to those who need it most.
We will protect the frontline but we will focus on some different solutions that might work better and be better value –- focusing on causes rather than symptoms.
We all know that there are things that local councils have to do that will always be costly but so essential such as looking after children in care and protecting vulnerable people. But what about outside these areas? Is there anything the council should stop doing? Is there more the community could do for itself?
We also want to know about your money-saving ideas, ideas that come from your own experience managing household budgets, running local businesses and making ends meet.
The only thing we ask is to make your suggestions constructive and we’d really love to hear from you.
