Warwick Council budget figures

What Warwick Council reported to central government. Every figure below is taken from a published return and converted from the thousands the return states into whole pounds. Nothing is estimated, and where the return carries no figure the section is absent rather than blank.

Shire district, filing as a district. Negative figures mean net income, which is what the return means by them.

Approved budget by year

  • 2021/22£21.2m (outturn £23.8m)
  • 2022/23£25.7m (outturn £25.7m)
  • 2023/24£25.3m (outturn £22.3m)
  • 2024/25 *£21.3m

These are cash figures as reported. They are not adjusted for inflation, so a rise between two years is not on its own a rise in what the council does. A figure in brackets is the outturn, what the council actually spent that year, shown alongside the budget it set.

2024/25 is on net expenditure for district purposes. The years either side are on the MHCLG Revenue Account return, so the step at this point is a change of measure, not a change of spending.

* marks a year whose figure is on a different measure from the rest of this chart.

Band D, this body's own element

  • 2014/15£147
  • 2015/16£147
  • 2016/17£152
  • 2017/18£157
  • 2018/19£162
  • 2019/20£167
  • 2020/21£172
  • 2021/22£177
  • 2022/23£177
  • 2023/24£177
  • 2024/25£182
  • 2025/26£188

This is the part of a Band D bill that goes to Warwick Council and nothing else. A household's whole bill can also carry amounts for other precepting bodies. Those are separate bodies with separate accounts.

Where these figures come from

This page carries no comparison between what Warwick Council budgeted and what it paid out. The published payment files and the net revenue return cover different money over different scopes, so a difference between them measures the difference in scope and nothing about the council.
