Finance

The finance for the Parish Council is provided by a precept on the Council Tax and for 2018/19 the Council has set a budget that will raise £52,130.  In addition to the precept the Council received a Council Tax Benefit Support Grant of £2,759 because of changes in the way that the national government provides funding to District Councils. If this grant had not been given the Parish Council would have been significantly financially disadvantaged compared to previous years.
