The Citizens Advice Bureau is making a last ditch effort to prevent Auckland Council budget cuts.

It's taking a petition with 15,000 signatures to council offices today, in a bid to halt their $2 million worth of funding being cut.

General Manager Citizen's Advice Bureau Kate Anderson says the service is worth every cent. 

She says for every dollar invested, they get $13 of social value out of it.

Consultation for the budget closes at 11pm tonight.
