The infographic below shows the amount of public money spent on the provision of services for Coventry's population in 2016-17. It looks at net expenditure and does not take into account capital expenditure, assets, investments, taxation, and other grant incomes. In the example of Fire Services, which covers the West Midlands Metropolitan County, the total cost of the provision of services (£59 million) is multiplied by Coventry's share of Metropolitan County's population to arrive at the figure of £7 million.
In
terms of net operating expenditure, £1,977 million of the public's money was spent on Coventry. At £777 million, the biggest
spending was on Pensions, Allowances, and Benefits, followed by Health at £590
million, and Schools and Academies at £281 million.

- Strong pass (grades 9-5) in English and Maths combined – up by 1.3 percentage points
