5% of the councils spends should be decided by the people

5% of the councils spends should be decided by the people

The rate payers of Erne East should be able to decide where atleast 5% of the councils budget should be spent,this is called Participatry Budgeting and it can be done using technology like this.

Points

This is a great idea

Local communities know whathey need in their areas and should decide this locally and ask the council for the money to do it. And council must facilitate this.
