Each year the Council approves the budget for its General Revenue Account services and the Capital Programme.

 

In preparing the Budget, the Council circulates its proposals and consults with Town and Parish Councils, trade union representatives of its employees and the local business community through the South Cheshire Chamber. The Consultation Draft Budget is also placed on the Council's website, enabling consultation with the wider community.

 

 

The Budget is made up of a number of elements, principally:

In summary, the Budget provides for continued service delivery and development in line with the Council's policies and plans. The Revenue Budget is balanced by a Council Tax.

 

Clearly, when setting the Council Tax for the year it is important to take into account the projected budget position for the medium term. This is explained in the Foreword to the Budget.
