The council has started consultation for the 2025 budget after a watchdog found this year's effort did not have enough impact
Falkirk Council says it has "taken on board" criticism of its budget consultation which auditors said "was too general and performed too late to have any meaningful impact".
Council bosses say this means they need to provide services in "new, innovative and more cost-effective ways". With the cost of services rising, the council says "no area of service provision within the council can be fully protected".Maintaining one kilometre of road costs £9823.The average cost of an older person in a care home is £44,200 every year.
Members of the public need to register to take part in one of the in-person sessions being held in libraries and schools around Falkirk district, from August 13-August 21.The council hopes that this time Audit Scotland will approve of the efforts it is making. “Earlier this year, a council tax survey was carried out and we are now focusing on a more targeted consultation on council tax and community priorities."Next week, local residents will also have the opportunity to discuss their priorities directly with senior leaders at events in local communities, with an online option also available.
