Finances

We will spend £302m on providing services to the local community during this financial year.

We use a three-year financial forecast to ensure we spend the budget in the most efficient and cost-effective way as some £80m is raised from local residents through council tax.

The forecast programmes how the budget can be best used to achieve both local priorities and central government targets.

The council's budget book details spend by service for the forthcoming year and our accounts are subject to an annual external examination by the public called the Statement of Accounts inspection.

We are committed to improving efficiency across our services and if you have any suggestions for achieving value for money please email them to budget@n-somerset.gov.uk.
