Funding the Proposals

The Capital proposals will be met as follows:

The proposed proposals will reduce the capital programme by £1.035m.  A reduction on borrowing costs has not been factored in due to the fact that some additional leasing costs may be required in the event that some of the planned replacement of vehicles cannot be achieved and required leasing costs over and above those currently budgeted for.  Proposals for Whitefield will be funded through the re-purposing of the Radcliffe Investment Fund.  Some proposals are expected to achieve grant income/match funding including: Electric Charging Points, Street Light EV Chargers.  The figures set out the net budget position.

The Gigg Lane purchase would need to be subject to appropriate due diligence and legal considerations.

The revenue proposals would be funded as follows:

Council Tax

 

In relation to Council Tax, it is recommended that the Bury element of the Council tax be increased by 3% of which 1.5% relates to the general precept and 1.5% relates to the adult social care levy.  An additional contribution to reserves of £0.101m will see general reserves increase from £23.149m to £23.250m at the end of 2021/22. The proposals will reduce the call on reserves in future years.  Options to reduce other costs within the Council may be subject formal consultation and equality impact assessments.

 

On being put the result of the vote was as follows:
