Revenue and Capital Budgets

The budget is set against a background of national uncertainty about public finances over the medium term. At the same time, the Council, working with partners and local communities, has refocused the vision and priorities for the county and the Authority to reflect the renewed ambition and opportunities unitary status makes possible.

The document sets out:

• the priorities the Council has used to focus investment and savings
• the resources the Council has allocated to service spending on revenue and capital expenditure
• plans for investment and savings in 2010/11
• plans for the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) including rent increases 
• a Reserves Policy
• a Prudential Code and Treasury Management Policy
• plans for a council tax increase of 1.9%.
