At lot of any budget is spoken far, wages, refuse collection, parks e.t.c.
We also have statuary responsibilities as a Council.
There is very little discretion when it comes to the main bulk of local government finance. And it's the same regardless of which party is in control
That's not to say that councillors don't have any say on where the money is spent, they do. But it tends to be on the periphery, and that's were the different political parties priorities comes in.
