Woking's residents say they value parks and play areas the most, along with safety and cleanliness.
By Tanya GuptaProposals to save £12m in the next financial year at bankrupt Woking Borough Council have been put forward.
Initial plans include internal savings at the authority - but consultation on closing a range of public-facing services starts in October. It follows a public consultation that found residents most valued parks, safety and cleanliness, followed by access to pools and leisure services.The council issued a Section 114 notice in June with overall debts set to hit £2.6bn.
Council leader Ann-Marie Barker said the plans would significantly impact the delivery of public services, adding: "These are not easy proposals to make but, due to the financial challenges that my administration inherited, we have little choice."Councillors will determine the future of services at a full council meeting in February.
Now though, we're starting to get a real idea of the scale of the cuts and what this could mean for different groups and organisations.
