Financial Forward Plan and Capital Programme

The council budget and capital programme contains the budget and council tax report approved by council each year. The revenue budget covers the estimated annual running costs of council services, including employees, premises and supply costs, and income from grants and customer charges.

The capital programme set out our plans for investment in buildings, roads, equipment and other assets, and how they will be funded. Both the revenue budget and the capital programme link the priorities and objectives of the council as expressed in the Corporate Plan having regard to resources and taxation consequences of spending decisions.
