OSCAR 2007 - Budget 2007
Notwithstanding the increased size of the database we have compared Reconciled 2006 figures with 2007 budget figures for the same parks. An 11.22% increase is projected across all Classes, but the rise is higher for Bulky Goods Parks than for Retail and Shopping Parks. This analysis in CHART 16 shows a lower rate of increase than is being projected above, although again show the largest increase within the Bulky Goods Parks.
CHART 16
OSCAR 2007 - Budget 2007 (adjusted)
We now have data for two consecutive years' budgets and comparisons are possible between the budgets for 2006 and 2007. We set out the results below including only those Parks that are included in both databases.
The year on year increase in budgets is 9.57% across all classes, but is significantly higher for Bulky Goods Parks as seen in previous analysis. There is a higher increase for Shopping Parks than has been seen elsewhere, but this may be a distortion influenced by the smaller size of the sample.
