Local government leaders are bracing themselves for what is expected to be a confronting week of public hearings.

The Dunedin City Council is hearing submissions on its draft long term plan, which sets out priorities and budgets for the next ten years.

It's received more than 2,000 submissions, and hundreds of members of the public plan to speak at the hearings, starting Monday.

The most popular topic is the proposed new swimming pool complex in Mosgiel, followed by planned road improvements at Portobello.
