Participatory Budgeting for a Vibrant City

Vince Howe, Newcastle City Council · 2008 · Case study

Short case study of Newcastle City Council's participatory budgeting pilots. In the children and young people's pilot, planned with a group of girls aged 12 and 13, around 100 children, young people and workers presented and voted on projects, and just over £30,000 went to 18 of the 23. Afterwards young people said they wanted a say over spending priorities and over which providers win contracts.
