Introduction
We work hard to manage our finances in a way that protects existing services and plans for additional spending pressures within a longer term financial strategy that maintains council tax increases at affordable levels and reserves above a 'minimum' threshold set by us. Our budget strategy is based on maintaining a balanced budget position which does not require a contribution from General Fund balances to achieve our spending plans. This has been achieved for 2010/11 with the exception of a contribution to make up a shortfall in concessionary travel funding and the costs of the eco-town consultation.
