Budget Consultation

We are asking Cramlington residents for their views on the Town Council’s proposed budget for next year.

The Town Council is responsible for a range of local community and environmental services including parks and playgrounds, allotments, litter and street cleaning, grass cutting and flower beds.

The proposal for 2020/21 is to increase the average charge to residents from (for a Band D property) £107.70 a year to £113.10 a year. This represents a 5% increase but 3% of this is to meet the costs of inflation. We also have plans to improve existing services and provide new services.

The proposed increase of £5.40 equates to 45p a month for a Band D property, 40p a month for Band C, 35p a month for Band B and 30p a month for Band A.  Over 80% of Cramlington properties fall into Bands A-C.

Most of the Town Council’s budget is already committed to on-going expenditure but where possible savings will be made to allow new schemes to go ahead.

The Town Council has already approved two additions to next year’s budget:

  • Continuing the employment of our Civil Enforcement Officer
  • Providing play activities during the school holidays.

Other proposed plans for 2020/21 include:

  • Contribution towards the cost of a Youth Co-ordinator to support the work of the Cramlington Youth Partnership.
  • Creating entrance features at the Fisher Lane and Shankhouse Roundabouts.
  • Proceeding with a series of playground enhancements.
  • Supporting VE / VJ Celebrations to mark the the 75th anniversary of these historic days

Full details of our proposals which were approved unanimously by the Council can be seen on the attached report:
