From 2011, this PC has had an ongoing policy of Greening Great Sankey. This policy
does not stand still. The policy has formed part of our Aims and Objectives and sits
alongside our commitments to maintain and develop our community centres thereby
improving the facilities for our residents. Developing Childs Wood and the Parish Playing
Field estates will need further investment and another pair of hands.
a) I propose increasing the Precept by £50,000 to £680,276. This will mean an increase
from £55.88 to £60.32 = £4.35 per year or 6p per week per band D property.
b) I propose the employment of another apprentice from April 2026, subject to the same
conditions as the previous apprentice.
