Financial planning is essential for achieving our
priorities in a cost effective and efficient way and we are
committed to continuing to provide quality services that are valued
by residents despite the challenging economic climate. Over the
next four years we must save £47.3m – more than 30% of our net
budget.

Budget
During this financial year (2011/12) we are delivering savings
of £18.6m as a result of significant reductions in funding from
central government. Our
medium term financial plan (pdf, Nov
11, 456KB) for the period 2011-15 sets out the financial
challenges we face and how we aim to meet them. By 2015 we will
have to save £1 for every £3 we were spending in 2010/11.
