Budget

The budget is our annual estimate for all receipts (income) and payments (expenditure). It influences the precept we need to request through Council Taxes. For 2023 to 2024, the precept has been set at £313,450 which means a taxpayer in Band D will see a £1.24 per year decrease on the parish element of the Council Tax bill.
