Council budgets and spending

Each financial year the Council is required to prepare a budget, outlining its proposed spending for the year and how that spending will be funded. During the year, the budget is used as a control to ensure that expenditure is in accordance with the Council's priorities, as laid out in the Revenue Estimates document.

At year-end, a Statement of Accounts has to be produced that records, in accordance with statutory and other guidance, how the Council spent its money during the financial year.

The Council's Annual Budgets and Final Accounts can be accessed through the menu on the left hand side of this page.
