Notes

1. Peoples Network

    On-going costs incurred for implementation of peoples network. Initial funding received from central government but on-going costs not provided for.

2. Income shortfall through library closures

    Shortfall in income through closure of libraries as a result of the policy decision to invest in the refurbishment of library buildings. The shortfall is only an estimate, and as libraries and discovery centres re-open additional income should be expected. Consequently the majority of the reductions mentioned above (£308,000) will be absorbed by the Library Service.

3. ICT development

    Recurring revenue costs following the roll-out of IT2000 to all recreation sites as agreed in 2002/03.
