How are Parish Council
services funded? |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Parish Council raises the funds to undertake the services
and facilities it provides through what is known as the precept.
This is charged to residents through the council tax which is
collected by the District Council. The precept is set at the
December meeting of the Parish Council for the forthcoming
financial year. For the financial year 2009/2010 the Parish
Council's precept is £98,325, for 2008/2009 it was £95,000.

Parish Clerk. |
