Manchester Budget Cuts Proposals and the Consultation Process: The Green View

Manchester City Council’s budget cuts, will have a huge effect on communities in Manchester.

BUT the announcements made are just proposals. They are available to comment on the Council website until February 22nd.

Final decisions will be made on March 9th 2011.

The Hulme Green Party says that

“Although the Council Cuts proposals are online, there are a lot of papers and they are difficult to understand.

We call for a series of public meetings for the organisations and the communities affected.

The Council, the organisations and the people should talk about the hard choices ahead and the best way to support the communities affected.

We especially urge the Council to be open and honest in this process. As far as we can tell, the results of the Councils earlier budget plan consultation, which ended January 17th 2011, remain unpublished.”
