2024-25 – why has the precept been raised?
The Parish Council is asking for a small increase of 4% in the level of precept for the financial year
2024-25. This is an increase of £1.87 from £46.72 to £48.59 per annum for a Band D property with
proportional rates for other bands.
The Parish Council is working hard to keep the precept level for residents as low as possible whilst
maintaining service standards. The council has offset the increases in energy prices and reduced its
carbon footprint by investing in solar technology, electric vehicles, and battery-operated grounds
maintenance equipment. A small increase in hall hire rates for the community centres will be
implemented in April to counter the rises in costs for cleaning and maintenance supplies, although
rates remain at an affordable level for our community groups and charity organisations.
