The events will give an
additional opportunity to discuss plans proposed by the council, which is
seeking to address an overall funding shortfall of £80m over the next two
financial years. The first of three consultations, which launched today, on the
Supporting People Programme, which provides a wide range of housing-related
services to help vulnerable people to set up home or continue to live
independently.
In response to the budget
settlement, Manchester City Council is looking at ways to save £3.4m from the
Supporting People programme, while ensuring that vulnerable adults receive the
help that they need.
The closest consultation to
Longsight is at the Library on Thursday 21 February 1pm - 4pm. There is also a consultation event on Sunday 11
March 3pm - 6pm Conference Hall, Town Hall.
The consultation period
runs until 6 May 2013. For full details of the proposals, links to further
