Finance
The Finance team is at the heart of everything Redruth Town Council does. Behind every community event, improved public space, local project and council service is careful financial planning that helps make it happen.
The team’s role is to make sure every pound of public money is spent wisely and responsibly, in a way that delivers the greatest benefit to residents. The team works closely with all council departments, so resources go where they are needed most, helping to create a vibrant and sustainable town.
The Finance team:
- provides financial information to support the Council’s decisions
- manages the Council’s assets
- communicates financial information clearly to Councillors
- works with local, reputable suppliers, supporting the community and encouraging sustainable business growth
- looks for sensible investments to help maximise income
- runs the Council’s grant scheme
- deals with public enquiries relating to finance
- supports the Council’s work on planning applications
The team is committed to being transparent about the Council’s finances, and to building a strong financial base for the community, so the town can invest in its future with confidence.
