Copeland Council to report financial success
Published: 17/07/2017
COPELAND Council is set to report a £170,000 underspend for the last financial year, its end-of-year accounts reveal.
The figure represents a “fantastic achievement” for the Council, says Mayor Mike Starkie, in light of the financial challenges the authority has faced in recent years.
The provisional accounts, that are pending the sign-off from external auditors, show that Copeland spent £10.34m of its £10.51m budget, and the money saved will go forward to provide extra funding for next year’s budget.

Because there was nothing within the fly-tipped items that could identify the culprit, Copeland Council has been forced to remove the waste itself, with the cost falling on the taxpayer.
Copeland Mayor Mike Starkie said: “It’s a disgrace that our towns are being blighted by people who have a complete disregard for others.
