Over the last two years, through its Big Question budget consultations, the council has attracted 7,000 responses offering views on how the authority should prioritise services with limited budgets.

And this year’s Big Question is asking residents to select the top five services they most value. The responses will then be used by council bosses as they look to find savings by changing the way services are run or by stopping the delivery of services where there is no other option.

People can take part by visiting www.dudley.gov.uk or by using #dudleybudget on twitter. People can also pick up hard copy versions of the consultation from borough libraries and Dudley Council Plus in Castle Street, Dudley.

The consultation runs for 12 weeks from Monday November 3 through to Sunday January 25 2015.
