YouChoose is an online budget simulator that encourages members of the public to consider where council budget cuts should fall, where efficiencies might be made, and where income might be generated.

The tool was originally developed by the London Borough of Redbridge to engage its citizens in the difficult decisions that may arise from a substantial potential reduction to its budget. In partnership with the Local Government Group and YouGov, YouChoose is now freely available to all councils in England and Wales to help them engage their citizens in decisions about how they spend their revenue budgets and help their citizens understand the tough choices the council faces.
