With three more weeks to go before the Council’s consultation on service choices ends, the Leader of the Council is holding a web chat for anyone who has not yet responded and or not yet asked questions they may have.

On Monday 14 December, from 6pm to 7pm, Councillor Dick Walsh will be available to answer questions via the Council’s website – www.argyll-bute.gov.uk

Councillor Walsh explained:

“We’ve already had a good response to the consultation on-line, with nearly 800 people giving their views on savings options and ideas for how the Council might transform how it works in future. We would like to hear from as many people as possible. The Council must make significant changes in order to balance our budget and deliver services with drastically reduced funding. There are no easy choices.

‘’If you have questions to ask, information will be on the website on how to raise them from Monday 14th. If you cannot participate in the web chat but would like to ask a question please contact us at  planningourfuture@argyll-bute.gov.uk or by calling 01546 604171.’’

Please note that this webchat had originally been planned for Wednesday 16 December. Because of a re-scheduled national meeting of council leaders, the webchat has been moved to Monday 14 December so that it can still go ahead.
