Council must prepare a budget each financial year which includes financial statements and a description of the services and initiatives to be funded in order to achieve the strategic objectives set out in the Council Plan.
You can view our 2025/26 Budget via the following flipbook. Alternatively, you can also download a PDF copy of this document along with past budget documents from the list below.
Our annual budget document also contains a funding and expenditure diagram called a Sankey Diagram (which is on page 7 below). You can find out more about how to interpret this diagram, as well as download a PDF copy of the diagram, on our website here.
