Balancing the books - have your say

13th October 2009

Dear Colleague

Balancing the books - have your say

The decision was taken at the June meeting of Policy, Finance and Asset Management Committee to undertake a public and employee consultation on Fife Council's budget for 2010 -11 and the following years.

A cross party steering group with Trade Union representation, chaired by Councillor Elizabeth Riches has been developing the content and format of the consultation.

Eleven drop in sessions for residents, community and voluntary organisations have been planned across Fife - details enclosed. In addition, there will be an online consultation on www.fifedirect.org.uk/councilbudget - available later this week.

The steering group has asked that you support the process by

• Raising awareness of the drop in sessions amongst your members and any other community organisations in your area
• Encouraging attendance at the drop in sessions
• Coming along to any session(s)

If you require any further information or would like paper copies of the booklet which contains the questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely
