“Dumfries and Galloway Council is facing significant financial pressures. We have already made savings of over £92 million over the past 6 years.” 

They estimate that for 2019/2020 it’s likely that a further £30 million will need to be saved.

  • Rubbish collection or Roads?
  • Customer Services or Safer Communities?

Have a go at using their Budget Simulator to show how you would spend the budget. It’s not as easy as you might first think…
