2. For each of the above financial years please provide the council’s total overall budget and indicate what proportion (or percentage) of that budget was spent on cultural services/activities

This information is published by Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, for revenue budget and outturn.
The link below goes to the gov.uk website page for the collections of local authority revenue expenditure and financing, which is broken down by year. Culture is a section within the returns, and individual local authorities’ data is available within these data collections.

If “cultural services or activities” is defined differently across departments or reporting frameworks, please included a brief explanation of what is including in these figures e.g. museums arts programmes, heritage services etc.
If this request is too broad or exceeds the cost limit, I would be grateful if you could advise how it may be refined.
