Participatory Budgeting (PB) gives local people the opportunity to decide where public money is spent in their communities.
There are two types of PB processes, one which distributes funds to local projects and the other which is known as Mainstream PB or Participatory Democracy and allows you to vote on how we, the Council, spend part of our budget.
Where appropriate we work in conjunction with community representatives to arrange, publicise and run events attended by members of the local community, who then vote on which projects or proposals should receive an award.
Further information on Participatory Budgeting can be found on the Council website.
