Important request!
I have been asked if I could include details of the forthcoming budget consultation ward meetings on the blog. All details can be checked and confirmed at this link here
Tickets for the forums are limited to 100 for each meeting (forums will be run as 'round table discussion' workshops after an initial presentation) and I suspect that demand should be high in lieu of all the interest being taken in the possible outcomes of the budget cuts (to libraries and swimming pools etc) and the publicity regarding the cuts. So order your tickets now! Meetings are open to all members of the public. If demand exceeds supply then I understand that more meetings will be arranged
Date and Time: Tuesday 1st June 2010, 7.00pm for 7.30pm
Venue: Culloden Academy Community Complex
Theme: Budget Consultation with Chief Executive, Alistair Dodds (For ticket enquiries contact morven.macleod@highland.gov.uk)
The meeting noted immediately above is for Ward 13 Aird and Loch Ness, Ward 18 Culloden and Ardersier, Ward 20 Inverness South
Date and Time: Tuesday 22nd June 2010, 7.00pm for 7.30pm

Date and Time: Wednesday 30 June 2010 at 7.00 pm

The meeting noted immediately above is for ward 19 Nairn. Not sure about this meeting as no mention of numbers or tickets on web page?
The Highland Council web sites states that:
Ward Forums have been set up across the Highlands to help you have your say in what's happening in your area. The forums will meet regularly in public led by the ward members in your area, assisted by the Ward Manager. Representatives of community councils and partner agencies, such as the police and fire, will also serve on the forums.
The meetings will last for up to 2 hours, with a 20-minute slot allocated at the end of the meeting for questions from the public.
