South Ayrshire Council insists it really does want to hear residents’ thoughts on its budget plans.
Last year, the council decided against holding a formal public consultation on its 2022/23 budget, a change from years of engagement with local people.
The council posted two short videos on the council website outlining what the budget was and, while it wouldn’t directly consult on the 2022/23 budget, the council promised to engage residents on plans for medium to long term proposals.
