The council's accounts
The council has two accounts. The General Fund takes income from business rates, council tax, government grants and the fees and charges people pay for our services. It pays for all our services, except housing, which has its own account.
The Housing Revenue Account takes its income from tenant rents and grants. Money in this account can only be spent on our housing service.
