How We Spend It
We use our finances to deliver a wide range of services that include prevention, protection and response activities. Of the budget:
- 74% is spent on Operational activities
- 18% is spent on Non-operational activities
- 8% on Capital Financing and Leasing
The service we provide is risk-based not demand-led. The variety of risks, over a massive geographical area, range from:
- Major petro-chemical industries in Milford Haven and Briton Ferry
- Heavily populated conurbations Swansea, Port Talbot and Llanelli
- An extensive coastline with major international ports and extensive inland waterways
- Extensive farming community and many other light industries throughout the area.
The Service continues to review opportunities for budget efficiencies but does face financial challenges in fulfilling all its responsibilities against the uncertainty and constraints of funding to its Constituent Authorities by the Welsh Government. With an annual revenue budget of £68.5m million the Service, through its CRMP 2040 strategy is committed to improving efficiency whilst maintaining the delivery of high-quality response to the Communities it serves.
