Revenue budget monitoring
The provisional end of year position is an overall underspend of £2.657 million. This will increase the level of General Reserves at 1 April 2026 from £10.594 million to £13.251 million.
A widely recognised benchmark is that the minimum level of General Reserves should equate to 5% of the net revenue budget. For Bracknell Forest, that implies a minimum figure of £6.7 million, based on the approved 2026 to 2027 budget.
