DECEMBER, 2009

URGENT REPORT OF THE CORPORATE DIRECTORS’ GROUP

FINAL BUDGET ANNOUNCEMENT 2010/11

1. Purpose of Report

1.1 This report reviews the main issues arising from the final settlement

2010/11 that was released by the Welsh Assembly Government on 8th

December 2009.

1.2 Attached to this report are Final Settlement related documents as follows:

Minister’s letter on the Final Revenue and Capital Settlement 2010/11

Welsh Assembly Government Cabinet written statement on the Final

Settlement

Selection of various tables provided as part of the Final Settlement

documentation (list attached).

2. Final Revenue Announcement – Main issues

2.1. The Welsh Assembly Government has provided figures for 2010/11 only,

with no indicative estimates for future years. Although the funding

information is only available for one year, the Council will continue to

prepare a longer term forecast to enable improved business and

operational planning.

2.2. The headline issues identified in the final announcement include:

Local authorities will receive an average increase of 2.05%, with

Neath Port Talbot receiving a headline figure of 1.75%, the fourteenth

lowest across Wales. The highest increase of 3.15% goes to Wrexham

with the lowest increase being the authorities supported by the

introduction of a 1% floor, Anglesey and Powys.

The headline increase of 2.05% includes new pressures across Wales

as follows:


All Wales

£m

Neath Port

Talbot

£m

Additional Learner Travel 2.843 0.108

When this new responsibility is taken into account the remaining

unhypothecated All Wales increase is 1.98%, with the increase for

Neath Port Talbot being 1.70%.

2.3. Deprivation Grant and Improvement Agreement Grant

The deprivation grant of £22m has been transferred into the revenue

support grant for 2010/11. The Improvement Agreement Grant falls from

£31.4m to £31.1m for All Wales, with the funding for Neath Port Talbot

falling from £1.484m to £1.466m.

2.4. External Financing

The cumulative increase in unhypothecated Assembly revenue support for

Neath Port Talbot is 1.67% after taking account of the Settlement, the

funding of the 1% floor and zero inflationary allowance on the

improvement agreement grant.

2.5. Specific Grants

Details of specific grants have been provided by WAG and are included in

table 8. All amounts are indicative at this stage and are liable to change.

Formal notification of grant allocations is the responsibility of the relevant

policy division and it is anticipated that updated information will be

received over the next three months.

2.6. Council Tax

A comparison of council tax at SSA included in the final settlement

compared to that of 2009/10 shows an assumed increase of 5.51%. This is

considerably above the levels usual included as part of the Settlement and

above the limit of 5% that WAG has used as a limit for capping.

£

2010/11 Council Tax at Standard Spending 882.17

2009/10 Council Tax at Standard Spending 836.09

Increase +46.08 or +5.51%


2.7. Three Year Forecast

The settlement information from WAG does not provide any indicative

increases for future years, as a comprehensive spending review will need

to be undertaken before the next three year forecast can be completed.

3. Capital Announcement – Main Issues

3.1. The Capital Settlement allocation has decreased from £656.112m in

2009/10 to £575.934m, a decrease of £80.178m or 12.2%. The main

changes are in the following areas:

2009/10

£m

2010/11

£m

Change

£m

Town Centre Regeneration Programme 8.8 7.8 -1.0

Local Roads 83.2 68.2 -15.0

Renewal Areas 25.5 24.1 -1.4

School Buildings Improvement Grant 104.0 65.0 -39.0

3.2. The unhypothecated element of the Capital Settlement for All Wales is

the same as 2009/10 at £217.433m. Neath Port Talbot’s allocation has

fallen by £9,000 to £9.362m, with £2.340m of this allocation paid as a

capital grant and the remaining £7.022m treated as supported borrowing

in the revenue settlement, giving an allowance to pay for the debt charges.

4. Conclusion

4.1. It is anticipated that the below average increase received by Neath Port

Talbot may make it very difficult for the Council to balance its budget.

4.2. It is accepted that this is just the start of what is likely to be a very

challenging period for public services across Wales and the United

Kingdom.

4.3. Work will continue to consider the impact of this settlement on the Neath

Port Talbot budget position for 2010/11 and the longer term.


5. Recommendations

5.1. It is recommended that the settlement position is reviewed and further

work commissioned to consider the impact of this settlement

6. Reason for Urgency

6.1 In order to ensure that the latest funding information is quickly

communicated to Members.

CABINET WRITTEN STATEMENT TITLE: FINAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVENUE AND CAPITAL

SETTLEMENTS 2010-11 DATE: 8 December 2009 BY: BRIAN GIBBONS, MINISTER FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND LOCAL

GOVERNMENT Today I am announcing the details of the final revenue and capital settlements

for the 22 unitary authorities in Wales for 2010-11.

The Overall Settlement

In preparing the final settlement I have given careful consideration to the

responses I received through the consultation on the provisional settlement. I

discussed the settlement with Welsh local government at the Partnership

Council meeting on 12 November and with the Local Government Health and

Well Being Committee at its meeting on October 14.

Next year, before accounting for transfers, local authorities in Wales will receive an average increase of 2.1% on the previous year’s revenue settlement. This is broadly unchanged from the provisional settlement announcement I made on 13 October.


The final settlement confirms the inclusion of a floor mechanism to ensure that

all authorities receive a minimum increase of 1 per cent.

Included in the final settlement are a further two specific grants in line with our

commitment to reduce the amount of hypothecated funding provided outside

the revenue support grant. This builds on the substantial funding identified in

the provisional settlement as transferring in from specific grants. These are

the Mental Health Carers Grant (£4 million) and the Fairer Charging Grant

(£10.3 million).

The final settlement also reflects a reduction, equivalent to the amount

transferred into the settlement in 2008-09, to meet local authorities’ liabilities

for court fees in child care proceedings. The detail on the future funding

arrangements of court fees for 2010-11 onwards will be finalised as part of the

Ministry of Justice response to the Plowden Review.

Specific Revenue Grants

I am also providing local authorities with details of the specific grants they can

expect to receive in 2010-11 although details of a small number of post 16

education grants will not be available until early in the new year. Revenue

Support Grant and Specific Grants taken together will provide authorities with

a comprehensive picture of the funding the Assembly Government will provide

in 2010-11, to allow them to budget effectively. In addition to the £4 billion

authorities will receive through the settlement, they will also receive over £600

million in specific grants. Included within this are major grants for areas such

as concessionary fares; waste management; Foundation Stage and

Supporting People.

Distribution between Authorities

Table 1 attached details the distribution of the revenue settlement amongst the twenty two authorities. The introduction of the most up-to date taxbase figures provided by authorities have resulted in some minor changes to the


allocations for individual authorities compared with the provisional settlement.

Also reflected in the final settlement allocations are some minor data updates

and revisions.

Capital Settlement

With regard to the capital settlement, the capital allocation for 2010-11,

including specific capital grants will be £576 million a revision down by £1

million on the provisional settlement figure.

The General Capital Fund totals some £217 million. This is unhypothecated

capital funding of which £54 million is paid as capital grant, the remainder,

some £162 million, is provided as support for borrowing.

Further detailed tables will be made available on the Welsh Assembly

Government’s internet site.

The overall package, as Local Government has acknowledged on the

announcement of the provisional settlement, is fair but challenging in all the

circumstances. It is essential that both the Assembly Government and Local

Government now work together to seize the opportunity to establish better,

more cost effective and innovative ways of delivering high quality services to

the people of Wales in the far tougher public expenditure conditions that lie

ahead. Our signing of the “New Understanding” on 12 November provides an

excellent foundation for making progress. .

The motion to the National Assembly for Wales to approve the local

government finance report for 2010-11 is due to be debated on the 12th

January.

Note 1: The published AEF is subject to a number of adjustments to make it comparable to 10-11 allocations. Firstly the allocations are rerun with the 10-11 taxbase so that the floor mechanism does not compensate authorities for changes in the balance of funding. Secondly it is adjusted for transfers in of £49.522m and transfers out of £3.708m which are expressed in 2009-10 prices.

Footnote :1. 2010-11 figures include the transfers in and out of the settlement, 2009-10 figures are therefore adjusted to include the 2009-10 value to allow comparison at local authority level. This results in a slight difference (0.02%) when compared with the overall increase in funding before the inclusion of transfers.

(1) General capital funding is split into unhypothecated supported borrowing (USB) and general capital

grant. (2) General capital funding for the housing revenue account (HRA) element takes the form of supported

borrowing only. Councils will be asked to confirm if they wish any USB to be eligible for HRA subsidy funding.

(3) General capital funding for the non-HRA element is derived by subtracting the HRA figures from the total in column (1). This non-HRA element takes the form of USB and general capital grant.

(4) General capital grant is distributed in proportion to total general capital funding for the non-HRA element.

(5) The non-HRA USB is derived by subtracting the general capital grant allocations from the non-HRA general capital funding.

1 Adjustments to base for like-for-like comparisons. Note: The published AEF is subject to a number of adjustments to make it a suitable basis for the floor calculation.

Firstly the allocations are rerun with the 10-11 taxbase so that the floor mechanism does not compensate authorities for changes in the balance of funding.

Secondly it is adjusted for transfers in of £49.522m and transfers out of £3.708m which are expressed in 2009-10 prices.
