Most of this is paid for by government grants and charges for services, but over 70m pounds is paid for by council tax, and 50m pounds of rates is collected from local businesses. We are considering producing a user friendly summary of the Council's accounts and would like residents views on what sort of financial information would be of interest to them.</description><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:13:13 +0100</pubDate><guid>http://www.calderdale.gov.uk:80/council/consultations/engage/view.jsp?id=7227</guid></item><item><title>Working for Calderdale Council - a 'local' perception</title><link>http://www.calderdale.gov.uk:80/council/consultations/engage/view.jsp?id=7150</link><description>The purpose of this consultation is to gather information on the views of local people about working for Calderdale Council.
