Revenue Budgets
Prior to the start of
each financial year, the Council is required to set a budget for
its day-to-day expenditure. This is called the 
revenue
budget (pdf, 134kb) and is the amount of money the Council requires to provide its services
during the year, taking into account grants it receives from the
Government.
Examples of revenue expenditure include staff salaries, building maintenance and the costs of running refuse vehicles.
It is a legal requirement of the Council to set a balanced budget i.e. expenditure cannot be more than the Council's income.
