Information Request - Accounts for Chantry Wood Campsite
Dear GBC, This is an FOI for the Finance Department. I want to see the accounts for the Chantry Wood Campsite for the years 2018-19; 2019-20; 2020-21; and 2021-20 (forecast), to include the income, operating and capital expenditure. I would like a breakdown of the operating expenditure into whatever categories are available. In particular I would like to understand: (a) how much staff cost is being charged to the campsite, in terms of money, but also in terms of the fraction of FTE. From what I understand there has been a restructure and the bookings that used to be handled by the Countryside Management team are now going to be handled by Customer Services. So I would like staff cost shown separarently for Wardens from the Countryside Management team, versus any staff cost elsewhere in the organisation e.g. Customer Services. (b) if there are repairs and maintence costs, what detail you have on what this money has been spent on, i.e. what maintenance has been needed.
Response
Please find attached the information provided from the Council's accounts.
The accounting does not specifically account for all overheads at this level to cover items such as administrative costs, parks rangers' time, development of support systems.
Please note that there would be a significant cost attached to adjusting the accounting systems and associated recording to break down cost to this level of detail for all activities the Council provides.
