Don’t forget that this evening, from 4-6pm, there’s a Walsall Council budget Consultation event at Oak Park, Walsall Wood. Everyone is invited to attend and offer their view on prospect cuts to the local council budget, and Council Officers will be on hand to discuss matters.

It’s important to point this out, as last week the Walsall Advertiser printed a letter that suggested we weren’t having any such consultations locally.

There are events planned for Brownhills and Walsall Wood – one tonight at Oak Park Leisure Centre, Walsall Wood (Tuesday the 5th November 2013) from 4-6pm, and another at Brownhills Library in the Parkview Centre on Thursday 14th November, from 2-4pm.

You can read about the consultations on the council website here.

Please do take part in the consultations if you can. The cuts will massively affect not just Brownhills, but the whole borough and I’d like to think we can all have our say.
