Case Study: East Dunbartonshire Council engages citizens in £20 million budget savings with Delib's Budget Simulator

East Dunbartonshire Council - Customer Case Study

East Dunbartonshire Council faced the challenge of needing to save £20 million over three years. They wanted to ensure their citizens were directly involved in the difficult decisions regarding budget savings, which led them to partner with Delib.

Delib implemented its Budget Simulator, a savings-only model that allowed residents to adjust sliders to reduce spending in various service areas. The tool was so successful that its initial four-week run was extended to two months, providing a wide audience with a platform for deliberative engagement and giving the council valuable insights into public preference on where savings should be made.
