  • Tweet
Friday, 4 March, 2022
Cllr Nigel Dugmore

Prudential borrowing in March 2011 was £117.9m at the end of the last Conservative Administration.

This was reduced in Labour’s 100 day budget to £93.70m

The equivalent figure as part of the base budget 2021/22 is now £465.054m

This budget proposal increases planned borrowing even further still to £563.794m which if all projects approved go ahead will be the position by 2025/26 less cash in hand and reserves.

Conservative Planned Debt         £117.900m

Labour Planned Debt 2025/26     £563.794m

An increase of                                    £445.894m

T&W argues that borrowing to invest is in some way “good borrowing” however the base budget 2021/22 includes £232.551m of borrowing that produces no income.

As interest rates and inflation are now moving upwards which leaves a heavy debt burden for future taxpayers to support.  T&W has locked into long term rates, but eventually these will need to be refinanced.
