Budget books

Each year we set detailed revenue and capital budgets.

The revenue budgets include income and expenditure relating to the day to day running of the Council.

The capital budgets include income and expenditure that will yield benefit to the Council over a period of more than a year (e.g. roads, buildings).

Treasury management

We manage the Council’s cash to ensure that:

  • No cash is lost through poor investments
  • Investments are timed to prevent the need for short term borrowing
  • Borrowing is planned and taken at the best time
  • Informed decisions are taken to ensure the most efficient use of cash over the medium term

Priorities when investing money

When deciding how to invest money, we consider:

  • The security of the investment
  • The need for liquidity (to have money available when it’s needed e.g. when a big bill is expected)
  • The return on the investment

The return on investment is only considered once the first two conditions have been satisfied.
