The accounts of Dover District Council for the financial year ending 31 March 2013 have been successfully closed and audited. As has been the case for the last 10 years, expenditure has remained within the budget approved by Council.
Both the General Fund and the Housing Revenue Account remained in surplus at the year end, and there were no material variations to the capital or special projects programme, which remains fully funded.
Despite continuing financial pressures, particularly due to significant reductions in central government funding, Dover District Council continues to set balanced budgets and to maintain a robust financial position.
Cllr Paul Watkins, Leader of Dover District Council, said: "Despite strong headwinds from a reduced financial settlement from central government, we continue to make efficiencies across the Council whilst maintaining the delivery of core services."
