“Staffordshire County Council is a well-run council, and we continue to manage our finances prudently while doing and spending what is required.  By using cash reserves rather than borrowing more, we have been able to achieve substantial savings in what remain challenging times. As well as being prudent, our low-risk investment approach, which focuses on lending to low-risk institutions, means we have been well placed to deal with challenges arising from difficulties the current global economy presents.  We remain committed to supporting local businesses along with providing access to funding, as we work to grow our economy.”

 

Ian Parry, Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources
