PEMBROKESHIRE County Council is asking everyone in the county to have their say on what the authority's future priorities should be.

As the council looks to save £11m next year, on top of the £16.3m it has saved so far this year, it is looking at ways it can save money, while protecting services.

It has set up an online survey, to find out what is important to local people.

The topics on the questionnaire include potential changes to kerbside rubbish collection services, and proposals to increase council tax by 5 per cent.

It also includes questions about which council services people currently use, for example libraries, customer service centres, registry offices etc, and which towns they visit most often to use these services.

It also wants to know whether people have internet access at home and, if not, where and how they get online.

The council also wants to hear people's views on education, housing, the environment, social care, poverty and town centre regeneration.

The survey is available online at www.pembrokeshire.gov.uk/haveyoursay until Friday, January 6.

Hard copies are also available from Pembrokeshire County Council on 01437 764551.

Council leader Jamie Adams and chief executive Ian Westley are also holding public meetings to discuss the authority's plans.

The meetings will give local people the opportunity to give their ideas on how the council can make further efficiency savings, and their priorities for well-being.

The next meetings will be held on:

* Monday, December 5, County Hall, Haverfordwest (6.30pm to 8pm)

* Monday, December, 12, Ysgol Bro Gwaun, Fishguard (6.30pm to 8pm)

Members of the public are welcome to speak Welsh at the meetings.

If you would like to do so, please contact the County Council on 01437 764551 at least five working days before the event so that translation can be arranged.
