Public spending
Redcar and Cleveland council area. Every figure carries its own date.
What this council spent, how it changed and how it compares with councils with similar responsibilities and population sizes.
Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council only. This covers the council’s own services. It is not all public spending in the area.
£279.51 million in 2025–26
Council service spending after service income. These are recorded amounts spent, rather than plans for future spending.
2024–25 prices · 2025–26
This year’s return can still be revised.
“Per resident” spreads the total across everyone who lives here. It is not a payment to each person.
Has spending kept up with prices and population?
Allowing for inflation makes spending in different years easier to compare. Looking per resident also allows for a changing population.

Net current service expenditure reported in the Revenue Outturn RS summary. Includes specific-grant-funded services. It is not a council budget, grant allocation, or all public spending in the area.
Outside this measure: Separate capital-account expenditure; Separate housing revenue account; Central-government and NHS spending; Services supplied by another council or separate authority.
Each financial year runs from April to March. Per-resident amounts use the population estimate for the year in which that financial year starts, matched to the council’s area code. Missing populations remain gaps. Inflation is adjusted using a broad measure of prices across the economy; it does not measure each service’s particular costs.
Changes in council boundaries, responsibilities, schools or accounting can affect the figures. A rise or fall alone does not show a change in service quality.
Sources and calculations →How does it compare with similar councils?
The comparison uses councils in England with the same broad responsibilities, choosing up to three closest in population size. They may face different needs and costs.
| Council or comparison group | At 2024–25 prices | Cash prices |
|---|---|---|
| Redcar and Cleveland (this council) | £1,938 | £2,003 |
| Torbay | £1,930 | £1,994 |
| Isle of Wight | £2,279 | £2,356 |
| Blackpool | £2,138 | £2,210 |
| England councils with the same broad responsibilities | Not available | Not available |
The wider same-type figure is withheld where a council’s spending or population is missing. No partial-group average has been substituted.
How the comparison works
Same country and broad council responsibilities, closest population size. Not adjusted for need, deprivation, income, commuter demand or service outcomes.
Fixed cohort of current councils of this type; complete observations only. This is not all council spending in the country.
The wider comparison covers 62 current councils of the same type. Spending and populations are added before dividing; individual council rates are not averaged.
The selected councils use the latest year with matching spending and population for this council. Every comparison row uses that same year. This is not a ranking of value for money or a measure of whether funding is fair.
Where does the council money go?
Open a service to see its history. The headings follow the council returns, so responsibilities and accounting differ between countries.

A zero may mean this council does not provide that service. A negative net amount can occur when service income exceeds spending. A missing figure means no usable value was reported.
What can be done with these figures?
Check which services account for a change, compare it with local needs, and ask what residents received for the money. Look for outcomes such as care access, school places or the condition of roads, alongside the amount spent.

Separate district/county tiers, police, fire, transport authorities and national public services are not combined. No all-public-spending council-area total is claimed.
2024–25 and 2025–26 returns remain revisable. Unsubmitted returns are gaps, never zero. Earlier years use the final outturn series.
