The City of Edinburgh Council, GB seeks ideas on public finances with Delib's Budget Simulator

The City of Edinburgh Council, GB Delib Budget Simulator

Complete

Edinburgh needed to reduce its budget by £67 million over three years without reducing service levels. City officials also wanted suggestions from a more representative sample than in previous engagement campaigns. Budget Simulator's simple interface ensured any resident could recommend budget increases or decreases without extensive training. Budget Simulator required every budget proposal to achieve necessary savings before delivery to city officials.
