Harrow Open Budget: The Harrow Open Budget initiative was initiated by key officials in the London Borough of Harrow to open up the process of developing the 2006/7 Council budget.
An integrated approach to PB in Buckinghamshire: Buckinghamshire County Council have taken a different approach to PB. Rather than trial a small grants pot, as most would when starting out with PB, Buckinghamshire are going to pilot 4 different kinds of PB at once. Buckinghamshire is aiming to integrate PB as 'the way we do community engagement'.
Thornhill plus You, Southampton: Southampton are piloting a new approach to participatory budgeting, using funds provided to them from the Primary Care Trust for health related projects. The event is on 27th June.
