Precept increase for 2025/26

After much discussion amongst the working party and at the PC meeting in December, the council decided that to maintain business as usual in the budget for 2025-26 and allow for ongoing increases in costs, it needed to increase the precept by £4,566 on last year. This will cost the average Band D property a total council tax payment of £1.26 per week or £65.77 per annum for parish services. This increase also pays for new items added into the budget, as follows:-

£300 for repairs and maintenance to benches

£2,000 project costs for the Neighbourhood Plan review

Kind regards,

Clerk.
