Budget consultation for 2012/13

South Oxfordshire District Council asked for feedback on how it should spend its budget in 2012/13.

The consultation included a workshop with residents and an online and paper survey which included questions about keeping the district clean and how best to distribute grants and business rate relief.

A background document giving a short introduction to South Oxfordshire District Council’s finances was made available to help people take part. A press release was also made after the consultation was launched, which outlined proposals to reduce council tax.
