Finance Strategy, Revenue Budget & Council Tax 2023/24

This report provides an update on the Council’s 5-year financial forecasts and makes recommendations regarding the revised revenue budget for 2022/23 and 2023/24.

 

The report gives the Executive the opportunity to consider the Council’s 5-year financial forecasts as set out in the Medium-Term Finance Strategy (MTFS), revised service budgets for 2022/23 and proposed service budgets for 2023/24.

 

Revised General Fund Revenue Budget 2022/23

The revised general fund revenue budget for 2022/23 amounts to £15,660,700 for service budgets and with other budgets totalling -£4,673,400 (including a use of general reserves of £1,259,500), giving an overall position of £10,987,300 which is an increase of £199,300 from the base budget for 2022/23.

 

General Fund Revenue Budget 2023/24

The proposed general fund budget for 2023/24 totals £15,714,700 for service budgets along with -£3,817,600 for other budgets (including a use of general reserves of £420,900) giving an overall position of £11,897,100 which is an increase of £1,109,100 against the original budget for 2022/23.

 

5-Year Financial Forecasts

The 5-year financial forecasts for 2022/23 to 2026/27 is predicting a funding shortfall by 2025/26.  The fixed funding for the Opportunities Plan work came to an end in 2022/23, but given the predicted funding gap in the coming years, it is evident that a further use of council reserves will be required to continue this important work to identify further opportunities to manage the Council’s financial pressures and remain resilient.
