All the figures on our budget pages represent the planned net expenditure of the council in providing services i.e. total spending less any income from clients or reimbursements from other public bodies.

This presentation of figures as net expenditure gives the simplest measure of the cost of our services to taxpayers through Council Tax, business rates or national taxation.
