The Council aims to deliver the best possible services within
the resources available and as a public body spending
taxpayers' money we work hard to ensure that the Council gets value
for money from its spending.
In 2012-13 the Council proposes to spend a total of £78.368m on
providing day to day services for the local community. This
spending will be funded by £64.780m of income raised through
grants, rents, interest, fees, charges and other sources resulting
in a budget requirement of £13.588m.
The budget that has been set will not require any increase in the
council tax level, which will remain frozen at the same level as
the previous three years.
