Council finances

 Finance at Warwick District Council

The role of the Finance Service at the council is to ensure that the council’s money is spent wisely and in accordance with the priorities that have been agreed for the council.

Warwick District Council is a low spending authority, levying a relatively low council tax. For 2008/09 the district’s element of the council tax is £138.03 for band D. This is the 34th lowest for a shire district in England out of 238. The total council tax raised is shared between the respective authorities in the district.

The council continues to be high achieving and ambitious in the provision of its services and this is reflected in its ranking as Excellent in its Comprehensive Performance Assessment.

The council strives to be open about its finances. This website is an important way of letting you know how the money is being used.
