PRECEPT - Each year the Parish Council must set a precept. The Precept is a tax that Parish Council’s charge their local electors to meet their budget requirements. Parish Councils do not receive any direct funding from central government and rely on their Precept plus any other income they generate from services or facilities they provide. The Parish Council Precept is part of the Council Tax and is collected from local electors via their Council Tax payments. The precept for 2024/25 was approved at the January 2024 Parish Council meeting and is listed below.

ANNUAL RETURN - the Parish Council must submit an Annual Return to the Government's External Auditor.

The sign-off by the external auditor will also be listed below, once it is complete.
