Notes
- Revenue expenditure is the authority's spending on services less its income from sales, fees and charges, plus or less some financing items, as budgeted before the year began: line 900 of the revenue account. The authorities hold different functions: police and fire sit with some and not others, so their totals are not like for like. Lancashire's and Devon and Torbay's are a few hundred thousand pounds or less in their first full year.
- Cheshire and Warrington and Cumbria return budgets but are not yet in the ONS's register, so they wait for it.
