Council Tax
As this edition is received, the annual Council Tax bill will be arriving as well. For 2022/23, the Parish Council £1,000 Date Grant Approved Apr 2021 are once again facing significant cost increases that are in excess of inflation.
Whilst our auditors continue to note that our General Reserve is below that for a Parish Council of our size, we have again agreed to not rebuild those reserves at this time so as to limit the increase. We also took the opportunity to repay the outstanding Public Works Loan Board loan for the streetlights that were replaced in 2017/18/19. This will reduce our outgoings in future years by £10,204 per annum. Thus, the rise aims to prevent any further depletion of the General Reserve, a reduction in the outputs of the Parish Council, or the closure of a key asset. Any rise will not be appreciated, but as with all we budget summary for next year with a total of £377,355 (excluding the Village Centre which is accounted for within the Village Centre Charity).
