News

The latest edition of Poole News published by the Borough of Poole, will be delivered to homes throughout the area on Thursday 1 November 2001.

This edition includes a special eight page pullout feature on the Council’s priorities, consultation and budget for April 2002-March 2003. As part of the pullout, residents will have their chance to prioritise and have their say on how up to £100,000 could be spent on local services next year. Poole people can choose one of six options, each of which supports the Council’s six key priorities for services next year.

Other features of this edition include:

Cllr Bob Williams, Deputy Leader of the Council, said: "Last year people got the chance to take part in an innovative display where they could spend their Council Tax in LEGO bricks. This year we are taking our consultation one step further and every Poole News reader will have the chance to have their say on how the Council could spend up to £100,000 by voting for one of the six options. I hope many people use this opportunity to vote for the option which they feel is most important."

Residents can find out more about each of the options and the Council’s priorities for the coming year by coming along to the Dolphin Shopping Centre on 9 and 10 November or to their local Area Meeting where Councillors and Officers will be on hand to discuss them in more detail.
