The downloadable document below gives a less technical financial summary of our 2023 to 2024 revenue budget. It explains where the money comes from, including changes in government funding, where it will be spent, how this affects what council tax you pay and what monies we pay to fund services provided by other bodies. Read a council tax message from the City Mayor and the Lead Member for Finance and Support Services.
Each year your council tax bill tells you what you pay for Salford City Council’s services, as well as what you contribute to other important Greater Manchester-wide public services, such as the police and fire and rescue services commissioned by the Mayor of Greater Manchester. These latter are called “precepts” and always appear on your bill.
In addition, we’ve given details of the costs of transport and waste disposal in Greater Manchester. These don’t appear on your bill as they are mostly funded through a levy contribution from the local district councils, with a smaller proportion coming from the mayoral precept.
The downloadable document below gives details of the budget for each service group of the council and an analysis both objectively for areas such as schools, libraries, highways maintenance and subjectively for employees, premises, supplies and services.
