Overview

Birmingham City Council is facing a very large challenge with cuts in funding that are unprecedented. We are looking at how we can continue to provide essential services to residents whilst supporting greater fairness and future prosperity.

As part of a Service Review process, the Environmental Health and Trading Standards services in Birmingham are asking for your views on proposals that are intended to create savings for each service. Brief information on what each service delivers is provided at the end of this questionnaire.

Why your views matter

This questionnaire is to address specific issues and your responses will help the decision making process in delivering the necessary budget savings.
