Received 14 May 2026

I am now making another request in follow to my previous question: In pounds, how much money does the council spend on servicing debt each financial year?

Please provide figures for the following financial years:

  • 2020-21
  • 2021-22
  • 2022-23
  • 2023-24
  • 2024-25

How much was the council liable to spend on servicing debt each financial year?

How much did the council actually spend on servicing debt each financial year?

Please give answers in pounds.

Servicing debt refers to the entire sum owed on debt interest payments including both the GF and HRA.

Responded 20 May 2026

As per our response to your previous FOI/EIR 25/26-548, East Cambridgeshire District Council does not currently have any external borrowing and therefore incurs no external debt financing costs for the years listed.

Please note that East Cambridgeshire District Council does not own or manage any housing stock.
