Our budget and service costs
A summary of our budget for the year and how much services cost to run.
Each financial year we work out spending and income based on our aims, priorities and resources, and use this to set our budget. The remaining balance is funded by a grant from government and a percentage of council tax.
The net budget requirement for 2024/25 is estimated at £20,816,000; an increase of £94,000 (0.5%), on last year’s budget.
The council has achieved a balanced budget, whilst ensuring council tax rises are kept to a minimum.
