Consultations
How you can comment on services you receive from the Council and be involved in Council decisions.
Share your ideas on how we can save £10million
We are asking residents and businesses to share their ideas on how we can save £10million.
Like councils across the country we have to work out how to run our services with less money. Everything we do is paid for by council tax and from government grants. This year we have already reduced our costs by £15million, and from April, we need to save a further £10million. We also know we have to save the same again the year after.
This is a lot of money, if this were someone earning £25,000 a year this would be like having a £2,000 pay cut!
We are already one of the lowest funded and lowest spending councils in the country, but we do still need to save more, so please take the time to share your ideas!
To help you think of ideas, see our summary of where we spend our money.

Tell us what you think about Solihull Libraries
Please take the time to tell us what you think about our libraries.
We need the views of residents, people that work in the borough and visitors, even if you don’t currently use our libraries, we are still interested in hearing from you.
Your feedback will help us plan services and will help us understand how libraries are used now and how they could be used in the future. The survey may even highlight some services that you didn’t know we provide already.
We want to ensure that our services meet your needs, so ideas on improvements and how to increase our value to you will be very welcome.
Please encourage your friends and family to take part too!

Consultation on proposals to transform and modernise residential care services at Sunhaven and Coombes House
This Consultation is now closed.
We are completely committed to offering high quality services to those living in residential care.
The care provided in Sunhaven and Coombes House is high-quality but the buildings are just not good enough any more, so we have a duty to make difficult decisions to make sure people living in the homes have a good place to live. We also have to make sure our services are able to respond to the hopes, aspirations and care needs future service users.
