8. Council Tax and managing budgets

The Cov Pod

You’ll no doubt be aware of Council Tax but do you know how and where that money is spent?
I sat down with Cllr Richard Brown, Finance Lead for Coventry City Council and Paul Jennings, Senior Finance Manager at Coventry City Council to talk about the council’s annual budget, Council Tax, and the balance between the funding of local services and investing in commercial opportunities.
The conversation is informal and is a great introduction to how the council manages its budget and the legal responsibility the council has to balance the books each year.
