Budget conversation
Tameside Council and NHS Tameside and Glossop Clinical Commissioning Group have come together to form the Tameside and Glossop Strategic Commission. They are responsible for a range of services from bin collections through care for the elderly to the provision of GP surgeries. Both TMBC and T&G CCG have to set a balanced budget for 2020/21. The views of local people are important in helping them to understand your priorities and inform the budget setting process.
