This page will tell you about the Parish Council Finance
Each year the Parish Council sets a budget and it requests funding, a 'precept', from the District Council. The precept is raised from the Council Tax applied to properties within the Parish. The Parish Council will also try to seek grants where approriate.The Parish Clerk holds the role of Responsible Finance Officer and manages the accounts in line with Financial Regulations, reporting to the Council at our meetings.
If you have any questions about the accounts please do contact the Clerk or Chairman
