£8.7m budget, highlights of which are:
Remaining £3.7m on Leatherhead Leisure Centre
£1.3m Affordable Housing
£0.8m asset enhancement and renewal
£0.4m KGV playing fields, Holmwood
£0.4m Leatherhead Night Hostel
£0.4m Brockham Big Field football pavilion
£0.3m Food waste recycling
£0.15m property options appraisals
• Approximately £0.8m of ‘new’ additional capital funding added to the
programme (none in 2009/10)
21. Future Financial Threats
• Pension Fund – value has fallen and there
is a statutory duty to fully fund.
• Central Government Funding – regardless
of the election result this will almost
certainly be cut
22. Summary
• The administration has improved the Council’s
budgetary position by over £3m circa 25% of net
revenue budget
• Because of this and recognising the current
economic difficulties of residents and
communities, a zero council tax is intended to be
set for 2010/11
• The future is difficult but the above demonstrates
you can trust us with your money
