Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council has launched a public consultation
East Lancashire’s largest borough is asking its residents how they want to see their council tax spent as the cost of living crisis bites. A special online survey has been launched to help the authority’s political bosses determine its spending priorities for the next financial year.
It includes questions on how rising living costs are affecting people locally. Leader of Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, Cllr Phil Riley said: “We are making good progress against the targets we have set ourselves.“However, we cannot stand still and the ongoing development of our key plans and spending priorities is vital in making sure we provide the best services our residents want and need.
“Thankfully, we are not in that position because we have taken difficult decisions in the past and we have a robust financial and forward planning systems in place. However, there should be no mistake – increased costs and cuts to funding has hit every council hard and Blackburn with Darwen is no exception.
