• Approximately £0.8m of ‘new’ additional capital funding added to the programme (none in 2009/10)
21. Future Financial Threats
• Pension Fund – value has fallen and there is a statutory duty to fully fund.
• Central Government Funding – regardless of the election result this will almost certainly be cut
22. Summary• The administration has improved the Council’s
budgetary position by over £3m circa 25% of net revenue budget
• Because of this and recognising the current economic difficulties of residents and communities, a zero council tax is intended to be set for 2010/11
• The future is difficult but the above demonstrates you can trust us with your money
