Bromley Council has urged residents to air their views on budget cuts before its public consultation closes next week.
Around 2,000 borough residents have already told the council which services they value the most as finance bosses attempt to save more than £60 million over four years.
Views were sought prior to senior councillors setting the budget for 2015/16 and beyond through public and residents’ association meetings, which ended last week.
Residents can still have their say in an online survey open until midnight on December 7.
Bromley Council leader Stephen Carr thanked residents who had filled in a survey or attended a meeting to discuss the cuts.
Councillor Carr said the council were committed to high standard, value-for-money services but must make dramatic changes as it cannot afford to do everything the way it has before.
He said: “I have been impressed by the way people in the borough have responded to the financial situation and the pressures we are experiencing on our budgets.
“In particular, I have been struck by their willingness to understand the probable need for small increases in the Council Tax.”
