Councillors will be shown the results in workshops over the coming weeks before finalising the budget details and setting the council tax in February.
Cllr Mark Pritchard, Leader of the Council, said: “A big thank you to everyone who gave us their feedback via the consultation. We now have some very difficult decisions to make in order to set a balanced budget and set the Council tax for 2018/19. Since 2008 we have already found £52 million and we now need to make £13 million of cuts for 2018/19.”
