People living in Lichfield and Burntwood are being asked where they want Lichfield District Council to prioritise spending as it continues to make cuts due to reductions in funding from the Government.

The local authority said core grants from Westminster would be stopped altogether during the coming financial year.

Cllr Mike Wilcox

Leader Mike Wilcox said the council may need to make tough choices in order to plug the financial gap.

“Due to the funding cuts, we need to find more savings and generate more income,” he said.

“This is why we’re once again asking local people across the district to give their views through an online questionnaire on what our funding priorities should be, where we could reduce spending, and ideas on how to increase income.

“We’re also asking what council tax increase we should consider for next year, and give a range of options to choose from.”

The Your View questionnaire is available to fill in [online](http://www.lichfielddc.gov.uk/yourview?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk) until 5pm on 21st November.
