Council's Accounts
The council has approved, subject to external audit, its
accounts for the year to March 2008.
The borough council spends 13.5% of the Council Tax you pay, the
remainder being spent by Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Police
Authority and Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority.
More of the council’s spending is met from government grant than
from Council Tax.
Since Council Tax was introduced in 1993 the council’s spending
has increased less than inflation – however, government grant has
comparatively reduced causing above-inflation Council Tax
increases.
The council’s full draft accounts and an out-turn report are
available on our website, which you can view by using

published by the end of September.
