Medium Term Financial Plan:

Click on the plan below to read.

The Authority formally reviews its budgetary position annually and produces a rolling multi-year plan, known as the Medium Term Financial Plan (MTFP). This plan considers the financial climate at both the local and national level together with available resources and budgetary pressures in arriving at a financial strategy for the Authority.  The MTFP provides a focus on both revenue expenditure (day-to-day running costs of providing the service) and capital expenditure (long-term investment in infrastructure, for example buildings, operational vehicles and equipment), as well as setting out the Authority’s overall financial strategy.

The Authority’s budget, final accounts and other relevant documents for previous years are available in this page. Please note the Financial Regulations and Contract Standing Orders form part of the Constitution.
