These pages provide a range of information relating to how this budget has been set for 2008/2009 and how it is being monitored:
Budget Setting
Warwickshire County Council set its 2008/2009 budget on 5 February 2008. These pages outline its content and provide various background information.
Budget Monitoring
The annual budget set each year in February is closely monitored throughout the year. As part of this process, monitoring reports are regularly presented throughout the year to the Council’s Cabinet. These monitoring reports highlight any predicted variations to the expenditure and income in approved budget, and recommend appropriate management action to minimise these variations. These pages provide the contents of these monitoring reports.
Council Tax
The Council funds its budget through a combination of Government grant, fees and charges, and Council Tax. These pages detail the Council Tax levied by Warwickshire County Council, along with links to the five Warwickshire’s borough and district councils who are responsible for Council Tax billing and benefits.
