We're pleased to say that despite increased costs and pressures, the Council's finances are in a good place as we look ahead to the future.
Over the past year, the cost of living has been difficult for residents, with high inflation and ever-increasing household bills, particularly in relation to energy. The Council has supported communities, residents and businesses during these difficult economic times.
Along with a range of savings schemes and grants to reduce costs, we have been able to tighten our belt to make efficiencies over the past year.
We will continue to do everything we can support residents of the Borough, while still keeping a careful watch on the Council's finances.
