Foreword
Welcome to the 2011/12 edition of Northampton Borough Council’s (NBC) Budget Book, which sets out the planned use of resources to achieve the policy objectives bringing together core budget data and highlighting the key issues facing the authority in the 2011/12 Financial year.
As in previous years, the 2011/12 budget has been closely linked to the development of the Council’s priorities and the continued commitment to improvement.
The Council priorities for 2011 to 2014 are:
1. Supporting you when you need it. 2. Ensuring homes are available for local people. 3. Healthy, active, green living. 4. Clean, green and safe Northampton. 5. Inviting and enjoyable open spaces. 6. Confident, ambitious and successful Northampton. 7. A responsive council 8. Quality services 9. Satisfying our customers.
Further information on our commitment to improvement can be found in the Corporate Plan.
Some of the financial information we deliver can be complex so we are continuously revising the way we present it to help ensure that everyone can understand it. With this in mind, we would like your suggestions and/or comments on the book. Feedback details can be found on the last page of this book.
This publication, together with the Corporate Plan, can be found on the Northampton Borough Council’s website www.northampton.gov.uk. Alternatively, copies of this budget book can be obtained by contacting Financial Services on 01604 837783 at a cost of £10.00 per book, please specify colour or black and white.

Policy and Community Engagement
Service Description
Community Engagement is a corporate service that is directed at the whole community of Northampton. Its principal component functions are:
• Equality and diversity • Community engagement • Community centres • Relationship with the voluntary and community sector, including grants
These services are not statutory, although they address statutory requirements, such as to meet legislative requirements with regard to equalities or the ‘Duty to Involve’. However they are at the core of current national priorities for local government around empowering and strengthening communities.
A small directly employed team works on these functions, largely in guidance and enabling capacity. Delivery of tangible outcomes is through other services of the Council, its partners and individuals and organisations in our communities.
Statutory Basis Emergency planning is a requirement under the Civil Contingencies Act. Other functions are governed by a wide range of legislation (for example under the general heading of equalities) but these do not prescribe how the Council will organise itself to deliver the required outcomes.

22 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL Culture Leisure and Heritage
Service Description
Culture and Heritage The overall purpose of the Cultural & Heritage Services is to ensure that Northampton has the high quality facilities, activities and opportunities, to meet the needs of its diverse communities now and in the future. The Service promotes participation, innovation and life-long learning. It does this through direct provision of services and work in partnership to facilitate provision by others. The Service is provided through: Managing the collections of the Northampton Museum and Art Gallery (including the boot and shoe collection) and Abington Museum • Working in partnership and collaborating with other cultural and heritage organisations • Engaging with the community through education and outreach • Delivering regular temporary exhibitions and events
Leisure Services The overall purpose of this service is to promote high quality cultural facilities; activities and opportunities to meet the needs and aspirations of its diverse communities, now and in the future. Previously provided directly by Northampton Borough Council, the services are now provided by the Northampton Leisure Trust who operate and manage the council’s 3 leisure centres: Danes Camp Leisure Centre, Lings Forum Leisure Centre and Cinema and the Mounts Baths. The centres incorporate the Trilogy brand of fitness suites.
Sport and Play Development Delivering a range of sports based activities and play activities to all sectors of the community, with specific reference to deprived areas. Other activities include health promotion, and positive social activity in addition to providing volunteering opportunities and holiday activities for young people.
Statutory Basis
Both Culture and Heritage Services and Leisure Services are discretionary services and thus do not have to be delivered directly through the Borough Council. There is, however, recognition that these services make a significant contribution to the profile of Northampton as a major town and the overall well being of its communities in relation to health, participation, social cohesion, education, reduction in crime and ultimately, quality of life.

Environmental Services Contract
Service Description
All of the environmental services for both Northampton Borough Council and Daventry District Council have been outsourced and are now provided by Enterprise plc. The services have been combined into one contract, which is monitored on behalf of both authorities, by the Partnership Unit in Northampton Borough Council.
Environmental Services Contract:
This service area brings together all elements that help communities become safer, greener and cleaner. The Environmental Services Contract covers two broad service areas providing street care and waste management.
• Street Care: The current service includes street cleansing and sweeping, grounds maintenance, graffiti and fly tip removal, tree and shrub maintenance including the up-keep of parks and open spaces, cemeteries and allotments. Through community engagement the service ensures that the standard and level of service that our customer expects is delivered. • Waste Operations: This service area is responsible for the collection and disposal of domestic refuse and recycling, the collection and disposal of all residual waste and offers recycling collections for green waste, cardboard, paper, cans, plastics and glass. There are proposals for the collection of food waste and textiles to commence during this financial year. This service is also responsible for the, operation of the materials reclamation facility and waste transfer facility at Westbridge Depot.
Statutory Basis
Street Care: The street cleansing operations carried out by this service area are statutory although it is within the council’s gift to determine the frequency and sequencing of cleansing schedules. Whilst this does permit some discretion there is an expectation from residents as to the level of cleanliness which impacts upon perceived standards of living. Grounds maintenance is a discretionary service but is governed and affected by the same reasons noted above. The majority of elements contained within this service area contribute significantly towards key corporate priorities and those contained within local area agreements.
Waste Operations: This Council is classified as a waste collection authority with the County Council being the responsible waste disposal authority. Domestic refuse operations are a statutory service and as such have to be provided. However the frequency of collection is discretionary within limits.

However, Enforcement is a discretionary function that is delivered in line with current policy.

Service Description
Housing Revenue Account Background The Housing Revenue Account (HRA) is a ring-fenced account that represents the costs of managing the Council’s housing stock. There are strict rules surrounding the costs and income that can be charged to this account. Much of the income and expenditure is dictated by legislation and regulation leaving the Council with direct control over a limited number of these budgets. Rental income, by far the largest single budget within the HRA, is calculated by applying the rent restructuring formula as defined by the Government.
Income Dwelling Rents This includes rents collected from the letting of council housing, owned by the HRA.
Non-Dwelling Rents This includes rents collected from garages, shops and commercial properties owned by the Council.
Expenditure Repairs and Maintenance This includes the cost of maintaining the council’s housing stock, including the management and maintenance function. Maintenance includes repainting, responsive repairs and cyclical / planned maintenance.
General Management These costs relate to the whole housing stock for all tenants, including rent collectors, costs of letting properties, most of the management of the housing department, computer costs and central support costs.
Special Services These costs apply to only some of the tenants. They include cleaning communal areas of flats and maintenance of open spaces.
Rents, Rates Taxes and Other Charges This includes rents, rates, leases and council tax paid in respect of empty council houses waiting to be re-let, or for property used to provide services to tenants.
Statutory Basis
The legal position with regard to the HRA is set out in the Local Government and Housing Act 1989 and updated by annual determination released by the Secretary of State.

CAPITAL PROGRAMME 2011/12 to 2013/14
71 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
72 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
Introduction
Capital expenditure represents major investment in new and improved assets such as land, buildings, infrastructure, equipment and information technology. It therefore plays a key part in the development of the Council’s services
Capital Strategy
The three year capital strategy provides a framework for capital funding and expenditure decisions in the context of the Council’s:
• Vision and values • Objectives and priorities • Financial resources • Spending plans
The three-year capital strategy will be updated on an annual rolling basis. Particular emphasis will be given to schemes that: • Achieve the Council’s priorities • Improve performance against national and local targets. • Improve efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery • Promote partnership working • Generate or increase income streams
• Promote effective Asset Management, including DDA and Health & Safety Issues.
73 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
The Council’s Vision, Values, Priorities, and Objectives
The Council has a major role in delivering the community vision for Northamptonshire. The framework for achieving this is the Corporate Plan, which outlines the Council’s vision, values, objectives and priorities.
Capital Programme
The 2011/12 capital programme is fully funded and approved by Council. The future years programmes consist of continuation schemes. The funding for new starts in future years is not guaranteed, and the final decision on which schemes will be included in each of the future years programmes will be made by the Council immediately prior to the beginning of each relevant financial year.
Capital Financing
Decisions on capital investment are made against the background of constrained resources, and the Council’s available funding sources include prudential borrowing, capital receipts, government grants, third party contributions, revenue contributions and capital reserves. These are all actively pursued to support capital investment.
The Council has in place a capital funding strategy, agreed by Cabinet, and reviewed on an annual basis. This is set out in the Capital Strategy.

81 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
Glossary of Terms Agenda 21 International agenda for social, economic and environmental improvement for the 21st century, resulting from the United Nation’s Conference on Environment and Development, June 1992.
Asset Rentals Notional interest on land and buildings, calculated on the basis of the asset valuation.
Best Value National Indicator Best Value is a statutory framework requiring local authorities to secure continuous improvement in the way in which they exercise their functions, having regard to a combination of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.
Budget Requirement The amount the Council proposes to spend after contributions from reserves and income from fees and charges etc. The budget requirement is financed by Revenue Support Grant, business rates and council tax.
Business rates/NNDR Rates are payable by the non-domestic sector, i.e. property not used for residential purposes, including shops, offices and schools. The level of business rates is set by the Government, collected by councils on the Government’s behalf and reallocated to authorities in accordance with resident population.
Capital Charges A charge to services to reflect the cost of fixed assets used in the provision of services.
Capital Expenditure Expenditure on the creation, acquisition or enhancement of tangible fixed assets such as land, buildings, vehicles, plant or equipment, including IT equipment. Capital expenditure can include grants to third parties for eligible expenditure.
Collection Fund The mechanism by which the Council keeps the local taxation system separate from its own accounts.
Contingency Money set aside in the budget to meet the cost of potentially unavoidable expenditure expected to occur during the year.
Corporate and Democratic Core This account draws together expenditure on all activities that benefit the Council as whole rather than a specific service.
Council Tax A tax on domestic property set by local authorities and based on the value of the property within eight bands, A to H.
Formula Grant Funding from Central Government comprised of Revenue Support Grant (RSG) and National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR).
Four Block Model This is the formula used by the Government to allocate Formula Grant. It is made up of four parts: Central Allocation (which recognises minimum need); the Relative Needs Amount (which recognises need above
82 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL the minimum); the Relative Resource Amount (which recognises locally raised funds); and Scaling (whereby funds are removed from authorities with grants above a minimum ‘floor’ increase to give those below the ‘floor’ a minimum percentage increase.
General Fund This is the main revenue account of the Council. Day to day transactions are conducted through this account, with the exception of those relating to the Housing Revenue Account, Collection Fund or any trust funds held by the Council.
Housing Revenue Account (HRA) The Local Government and Housing Act 1989 requires each local housing authority to keep a separate account for all transactions relating to housing provided by the Council. This is termed the Housing Revenue Account.
LA21 Strategy The Local Agenda 21 Strategy asks local communities to work together to, protect the local environment, use local resources and services and use natural resources such as gas and oil more efficiently.
Major Repairs Allowance (MRA) Government grant payable for the express purpose of maintaining the Council’s housing stock in its current condition. MRA resources can be used for any capital expenditure on HRA assets, but authorities are expected to use the MRA resources in line with the priorities set out in their HRA business plans and in a way consistent with the purposes for which the MRA is provided.
Objective Analysis An analysis of expenditure and income by service area, for example Parks & Open Spaces, Street Cleaning.
Outside Control For revenue monitoring purposes certain areas are deemed to be “outside the control” of budget holders, in that they can do little to influence the actual level of expenditure.
Parish Precepts In order to finance the services and functions that are performed by a Parish or Town Council, the Parish can request the billing authority (NBC) to collect an amount through the council tax mechanism, on their behalf.
Prudential Code The Prudential Code for Capital Finance in Local Authorities is the code of practice drawn up by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) to underpin the requirements of the Local Government Act 2003 in respect of an authority’s duty to determine an affordable borrowing limit.
Relative Needs Formula (RNF) From 2006/07 this is the Government’s assessment of the relative need of local authorities. It is calculated using various formulae intended to take account of individual authorities needs, e.g. population, road lengths, etc.
Revenue Support Grant (RSG) This is a Central Government Grant providing general support for Council services and allocated through the Four Block Model.
Section 136
83 NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL
Under Section 136 of the Local Government Act 1972 Parish and Town Councils can choose to contribute to expenditure on certain activities within their areas that are provided by another authority e.g. landscaping, play areas, allotments and sports grounds.
Specific Grants Grants paid by the government in respect of specific services, which can only be used for that purpose.
Subjective Analysis An analysis of expenditure and income by type of transaction, for example salaries costs, premises costs.
Supported Borrowing Funding source for capital expenditure, where the revenue costs of borrowing are funded by central government through the Formula Spending Share.
Transfer Payments Payments to individuals for which no goods or services are received in return, for example payments of mandatory awards.
Unsupported Borrowing Funding source for capital expenditure, where the revenue costs of borrowing do not come from central government and have to be met by the local authority from its own resources. Under the Prudential Code, all local authority borrowing undertaken by the local authority must be prudent, affordable and sustainable.
Virement Transfer of spending power (budget) from one area to another.
WEEE The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive was adopted by the EU in 2003. It aims to reduce the amount of WEEE being disposed in landfills by promoting separate collection, treatment and recycling.
