Cost of Living
The rising cost of living is affecting everybody in different ways. Here at Dover District Council, our cost-of-living plan will set out how we plan to support those most impacted, as well as those who have not faced financial challenges before.
As per our Cost of Living Plan, we've dedicated a number of web pages to providing information and resources on how to cope with the rising expenses of everyday life. This will help our communities be more aware, informed and empowered to navigate the rise in the cost of living.
