5 Year Money Plan

The Council Five Year Money Plan is the Medium Term Financial Pan which provides the framework within which revenue and capital spending decisions can be made over the medium term. It is reviewed and updated on an annual basis to ensure it reflects the most up to date information available on issues with a financial impact on the Council and increases for pay award, inflation on contracts etc.

The plan provides a framework within which to prepare the current year budget 2026/27 and sets out the estimated funding gap with targets for reductions/increased income for 2026/2031.
