Hampshire County Council will announce its budget for 2010 to 2011 later this month.
The annual budget will be around £672 million and is expected to see a rise in council tax of £20 per year for the average family.
Local residents voiced their opinions on council spending as it stands and what they hope the new budget will improve:
“Well obviously it’s an enormous budget for an enormous county, so one would hope that they would be able to find some value for culture”
“Well I think they’re spending too much on the Civil Service and not enough on the public, the NHS and help for the elderly”
The council has said that there are no plans to cut service spending: which includes social care, education, road maintenance and rubbish disposal.
