Calculation of Adjusted Formula Grant for 2007/08 (£ 24,387,906)
The adjusted formula grant is created to enable like-for-like comparisons between the amount of formula grant an authority would have received in 2007/08, had formula grant in that year covered the same functions for each authority as it does for 2008/09. The adjusted formula grant is used in calculating the floor damping amount for each authority. These calculations do not affect an authority's grant entitlement in 2007/08.
Adjustments (b) to (h) are to take account of functions which were funded through specific grants in 2007/08 but which will be included in the functions funded through formula grant from 2008/09 onwards.
Adjustments (i) to (p) are to take account of changes in the functions exercised by local authorities.
