Your Services Are Changing - Play Your Part
Overview
|
Each year the Council engages citizens on its spending and savings plans for the year ahead. In the previous two years almost 8000 individuals participated in the Council’s budget challenge and told us where spending and savings should be prioritised. This feedback was used to set the four year financial plan for Edinburgh. Participants also told us that they would like to be involved in helping the Council to identify solutions and redesign services. We are now inviting all citizens to give their views and ideas on how we can deliver services that continue to meet the needs of the community while maintaining the quality of services. We need to think about how we transform services, making better use of technology, working with partners and involving communities to deliver services and meet needs. |
Why your views matter
We are asking you to think about the services below and put forward ideas and suggestions on how you would like these services to be developed thinking about your family, your community and the city as a whole:
- Developing future library services and improving access e.g. through combining them with other community facilities, involving individuals and communities to help deliver the service and using technology such as swipe card access for 24 hour access to library buildings.
- Developing the ways customers do business with the Council through enhanced online access to information about services, paying for services, requesting a service and giving their feedback.
- Improving access to sport and leisure activities within all Council facilities for the benefit of communities. This will reach different groups and provide opportunities for doing this more effectively by involving individuals and communities
