The Council has a statutory duty to set a budget each year which should cover the cost of all its duties and any discretionary expenditure it might wish to make. Views expressed in the consultation processes are taken into account in preparing the budget. These are based on the best estimates of costs out-turns.
The figures cover the main cost centres:-
- Democratic Services (including all staff costs direct and indirect, training, audit, Data Protection, Information Commissioner, publicity, elections/polls)
- Memberships and subscriptions (including county and national societies)
- Town Council Office (including rent, rates, connectivity, services, lease obligations)
- Administration (including office expenses, equipment, software, website, emails, insurance, Christmas lights, speed signs, legal costs)
- Projects (including many of the suggestions made before and during the consultation)
The Council’s approved budget is available on the Council’s website. The Council continues to earmark funds for items which it considers appropriate for the Town Council to fund (rather than North Northamptonshire Council).
