Can somebody explain the purpose of the "Our Lewisham, Our Say" survey? I had a look at it and the budgets they're asking about total roughly 25% of Lewisham's £900M budget, yet if you disagree with ony cut, you are asked to reallocate it to one of the other categories within that 25%.

£25M _ _ 2.8% _ Cleaning, Waste & Recycling
£4M _ _ 0.5% _ Libraries
£15M _ _ 1.7% _ Town Centre and Business
£103M _ 11.4% _ Adult Social Care
£16M _ _ 1.8% _ Roads
£4M _ _ 0.4% _ Supporting NEETs, unemployed
£1M _ _ 0.1% _ Climate Change
£10M _ _ 1.1% _ Supporting Children and Families
£6M _ _ 0.7% _ Activities for Young People
£30M _ _ 3.3% _ Reducing Crime and Antisocial behaviour
£6M _ _ 0.7% _ Sports and Leisure

£681M _ 75.6% _ Other commitments

I realise that some of their services are statutory, but since they are asking how you would share the pain, this consultation is pointless.
