At the 10th January 2023 meeting of the Parish Council, members considered the draft budget working papers and approved a budget of £706,887 which requires a precept of £552,847. Setting the budget has been challenging especially when faced with the cost-of-living crisis, the parish council itself has not been immune to the rising costs and is pleased that we have been able through budgetary savings and the prudent financial management of public funds to keep the increase in our precept to 3%, we believe that our budget is sound and honest and based on good fiscal policies. The monetary difference for a Band D Council Taxpayer will be approximately 4p per year. Our finalised budget for 2023 / 2024 will be published shortly.
