Funding is provided directly by the Government as Revenue Support Grant, Business Rates and Other grant income. The remainder is raised via the precept which forms part of the council tax bills issued by the District Councils. The Authority only sets it budget after taking account of the Governments regulations on capping, the level of reserves it has available and any income that it generates.
For 2025/26 the Fire Authority has set a budget of £71.8m agreed at the February 2025 meeting. The report can be viewed here Fire and Rescue Authority 17 February 2025 (agenda item 10) along with the Medium Term Financial Plan 2025-2028 (agenda item 47)
