Local
Area Agreement - consultation
City
of York Council and the Without Walls Partnership are
consulting on the development of York's Local Area
Agreement, and are inviting comments on the proposed
priority 'outcomes' for York's LAA. You may want to comment
on the proposed outcomes (Are they the right ones? Are there
other local priorities that should be included?); on how the
work of your organisation or group contributes to achieving
these outcomes; or on ways in which your organisation might
contribute to these outcomes in the future.
These
documents provide background information:
This
is the proposed 'outcomes' for York's Local Area Agreement.
There is a separate spreadsheet tab for each of the four LAA
blocks and each of the three cross-cutting themes.
This
is the template for comments on the outcomes. It follows the
same structure as the outcomes spreadsheet. You can put your
comments in the relevant part of the template. You don't
have to use the template if you prefer to just write your
comments.
There
is a consultation meeting for voluntary and community
organisations to discuss the local Area Agreement and the
proposed outcomes, on the morning of Wednesday 23rd August
at the Priory Street Centre - please ring 01904 621133 to
let us know if you are planning to attend. Lunch is
provided.
Please

Description
of Consultation
The
Council is seeking the views of voluntary and community
organisations on the level of Council Tax and budget for
2006/2007. Income
from Council Tax pays for approximately one third of council
services so the level at which this is set can make a big
difference to local services. York residents are being asked
whether:
- they
are prepared to pay an increase of between 5 and 7% to
protect existing services and fund some new services,
- or
if they prefer a lower than 5% increase.
If they chose this lower option they are being
asked which services they may be prepared to see cuts in.
Background
information on the budget and the residents poll can be found
at www.york.gov.uk/council/budget/consultation.html
. This site will be updated with more detailed proposals
before Christmas.
Please
give the Council your views on the council budget and/or
council tax options by emailing these to
sue.poole@york.gov.uk
including
your organisation name and/ or the interest group or
service area your organisation represents. These responses
will be included at the consultation meeting between the
Council and the York Compact Group in January.
Who
will be included in the consultation?
Residents
and businesses and voluntary and community organisations
living, working or providing services in the City of York. The
York Compact Group.
