News: Public services talking to Rotherham business
Businesses across South Yorkshire are being canvassed on their opinion of the region's police, fire and transport services.
The South Yorkshire Joint Secretariat (SYJS), responsible for the effective and efficient operation of the region's Police, Fire and Rescue and Integrated Transport Authorities, is keen to obtain the views of the business community about how these services are run.
SYJS is embarking on a consultation process with local businesses to assist the Authorities in setting their budgets for 2010/11.
This year the South Yorkshire Police Authority had a budget of £253m, Fire and Rescue's was £58m, while the Integrated Transport Authority was £97m.
Questions being asked offer the opportunity for businesses to consider the service they receive and the impact they have on the South Yorkshire economy.
Bill Wilkinson, chief executive at the Joint Secretariat, said: "We want to encourage every business ratepayer to have their say on how we might better serve and support the sector in the future.
"If they feel they are getting value for money we would be delighted, but if they feel there are areas of operation that do not provide the necessary level of support, then this exercise provides an opportunity to put these views forward."
"Every response – positive and negative – is important and will allow members of the Authorities to work with their Chief Officer in highlighting objectives for the forthcoming year that are in tune with the needs of local businesses."
