1.                       Year
                         2017          2018          2019          2020          2021          Grand Total
          Total           438,615      413,404      424,304      365,855      371,996      2,014,174

This includes:  vandalism, adhoc repairs, maintenance of grounds and infrastructure maintenance e.g. gates, paths, roads.

2. Similar revenue budgets expected - these are set annually.  In addition, the Council has committed to a £50k capital budget to support capital improvements/infrastructure repairs in cemeteries.
