Consultation was carried out during July and August 2012 to enable public comments and views to be fed into the initial round of budget discussion. This included qualitative feedback from budget stakeholder workshops and quantitative research using an on-line budget simulator and survey to give members of the public a wider opportunity to participate.
The feedback gathered from the qualitative and quantitative exercises fed into the budget review report to Cabinet and Full Council in September 2012. It was also published in the September issue of One Island magazine.

The council is now analysing the comments received and will feed them into the final budget 2013/14 decisions.
