Case Study: Cheshire West and Chester Council gains clear resident budget insights with Delib Budget Simulator

Cheshire West and Chester Council uses Delib Budget Simulator for £57m savings consultation with 4,000 views

Cheshire West and Chester Council faced the significant challenge of needing to make £57m in budget reductions over four years. Before making these difficult decisions, the council needed to start an honest dialogue with residents to understand their views and service priorities. To achieve this, they worked with vendor Delib and used their Budget Simulator as a key part of the approach.

Delib's Budget Simulator was implemented as a central component of the council's extensive 'Let's Talk' consultation. The solution provided an effective and engaging way to visualize the budget challenge and was viewed by 4,000 people. The Delib tool delivered valuable real-time analysis throughout the consultation and helped the council gain an accurate picture of residents' priorities, which directly informed the creation of their new Council Plan.
