Vale of White Horse District Council

Budget 2005/06

The Council set a budget of £10.4m for 2005/06. 

This resulted in an increase of the Vale’s portion of the Council Tax of 5 per cent, representing a £4.62 increase in the Band D charge from £88.19 to £92.60 for the year.

The budget is made up of £6.1m of Government grant and £4.3m from Council Tax. The Council also generates £3m from investment and property income. Savings of £1m were identified as part of the budget setting.

As well as provision for statutory services like waste collection, local planning and benefits, the budget will also provide funding for the Council’s long term strategy and priorities including affordable housing, creating cleaner, greener, safer and healthier communities and improving and modernising access the services.
