Council budget

The council is required to set a budget on an annual basis, taking into account the amount of funding it can raise, the services it must provide, and financial pressures including inflation.

What services does the council provide?

The council is one of the largest employers in the area, with over 10,000 employees, who provide over 600 services to over 143,000 households and businesses in towns, villages and hamlets covering some 930 square miles.  

These include social care for the elderly and vulnerable, the construction and maintenance of roads, parks and other infrastructure, planning and building control services, waste collection, environmental health services, the provision of schools, libraries and museums, as well as many other local services.

Like all large public sector organisations, we manage our resources very carefully and aim to do more with less money.  Since 2010, the government has reduced our funding significantly and we have had to make tough decisions in order to meet this challenge.

What is the council's agreed budget and four year financial plan?

The approved business plan and financial plan for the period 2021-22 to 2024-25 is set out in the documents below. The minutes show the changes proposed by the Conservative Group at the Full Council meeting and which were agreed and implemented as part of the budget for 2021-22.

The consultation on the council's draft budget proposals for 2021-22 ended on the 31 January 2021..
