I've just received a personalised (yuk!) email from the council under the above title. It invites me to fill in a questionnaire indicating which council service (I'm allowed only to choose one in each case) matters most (1) to me personally and (2) to the community, and where I think cuts can best be made.

I've sent it back without selecting any preferences, but put the following in the 'comments' section:

This show of 'direct democracy' is an abrogation of responsibility on the part of the council. We elected you to take hard decisions about priorities; that's what representative democracy is all about. I don't have enough information to decide where the axe should fall - the council does (or should do). I don't want you to make cuts in some service or other and then blame us for not voting for it in the questionnaire.
