Overview

Birmingham City Council is facing a big challenge with cuts in funding that are unprecented. 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 City's Registration Service is seeking your views on proposals that are intended to realise savings for the service.

This consultation addresses specific issues and your responses inform the decision making process when deciding how to deliver the necessary budget savings.
