The Highland Council says it is taking a new approach in preparing its budget from 2019-22.
In recent weeks, new chief executive Donna Manson, budget leader Councillor Alister Mackinnon and other senior councillors and officers have been out talking withstaff, groups and communities across the Highlands in more than 50 engagement sessions.
The engagement feedback was presented to members as part of a two-day cross-party seminar last week which was considering bothbudget and governance of the council.
