Warwickshire County Council’s Budget
Our budget has two elements:
- A revenue budget which includes spending on the day-to-day running of services – mainly salaries, running expenses of buildings and equipment and debt charges.
- A capital programme which includes expenditure that have a lasting value, for example land, buildings and large items of equipment such as vehicles and computers.
Information relating to how our budget has been set for 2011/2012, how we regularly monitor our spending and our part of the council tax charge is available below.
Budget Setting
We set our 2011/2012 budget on 15 February 2011. These pages outline its content and provide various background information.
Budget Monitoring
The annual budget we set each year in February is closely monitored as we go through the year. As part of this process, monitoring reports are regularly presented throughout the year to the Council’s Cabinet. These monitoring reports highlight any predicted variations to the expenditure and income in approved budget, and recommend appropriate management action to resolve these variations.
Council Tax
We fund our annual budget through a combination of government grant, fees and charges, and council tax. These pages detail the part of the council tax levied by us, along with links to the five Warwickshire borough and district councils who are responsible for council tax billing and benefits.
