Argyll and Bute Council Give your views on how you think we could make savings in amenity services,

Dear Democrat reader,

Argyll and Bute’s council has to identify options to meet a projected budget gap of £6.7 million in 2021/2022, and as part of that, is asking for your views on amenity services.

Savings can only come from a relatively small proportion of the council’s budget (32%), because of national priorities and other factors outside council control:

• Teacher posts are protected nationally
• Social work costs are managed by the Health and Social Care Partnership
• Utility, loan and other costs depend on external factors.

Some savings have to come from amenity services, which cover everything from bins and grass cutting, to parking, road repairs and public toilets.

We would like to invite you to give your views on how you think we could make savings in amenity services, by responding to our consultation.

We would very much appreciate hearing from you by completing the following survey by Sunday 18 October:
