A message from Councillor Chris Saint Leader, Stratford-on-Avon District Council

This budget has been set against a background of predictable revenue streams, set by our four year agreement with the Government, but again we need to pay regards to the longer term scenario to create a sustainable way forward.

The District Council has agreed a modest increase in the Council’s share of the council tax to help cover the continuing fall in Government funding given to District Councils. All the services provided by the District Council cost £2.64 a week.

Our reserves have been built up over a number of years within our financial strategy and reflect prudent and sound financial management, in anticipation of the challenging times ahead when all future Central Government funding will cease. Reserves represent an accumulation of funds that can only be spent once and following the Peer Review recommendation we will spend some of this improving the services provided by this District Council.

The priorities which have been identified by the public from our Citizen’s Panel budget consultation, have been reflected in our budget with increased funding for the prevention of homelessness, future economic development work and additional security measures for public events.

There is also budget provision for broadband for hard to reach areas in our district, thanks to an improved final Government settlement and for the celebration of the centenary of WW1. To show cross-party support we are also adopting a Liberal Democrat proposal to help facilitate the Compulsory Purchase Order of Priory Square in Studley if required.

The Citizen’s Panel Survey recorded the ‘Value for Money’ index at 88% and the CCTV service continues to be popular and highly regarded amongst residents. The Panel continues to undervalue our services to the local economy and tourism, but we cannot ignore that tourism accounts for a substantial part of local employment. The District Council is also represented on local partnerships to ensure it receives its fair share of any potential Government funding to support future infrastructure projects.

This budget represents a responsible way forward without compromising the future income to the Council or putting forward profligate spending plans. Our important services are protected, maintaining the quality expected of us, and our spending is responding to the priorities supported by residents.

This budget manages to preserve a justifiable level of reserves while providing the capacity for the Council to undertake both its statutory duties and those it undertakes by virtue of its Corporate Strategy, providing good value for money. 6 Stratford-On-Avon District Council

Your council tax explained

Your council tax is a local property tax that is charged in order to supplement Government funding of the local services provided by public authorities. It applies to properties used by people as their homes. The amount of council tax you pay is dependent upon which band your property is in. In addition Parish Councils throughout the District have additional expenses called precepts, which are added in proportion to your council tax depending on where you live.

Band SDC charges Staff - The figures are based on full-time equivalent employees. A 91.38 As of 1 B 106.61 1 April 2016 1 April 2017 C 121.84 February 2018 D 137.07 E 167.53 F 197.99 G 228.45 H 274.14 253 240 253
