Financial Information

Like all public bodies, the Council must be able to account for the monies that it receives and spends. As such, it is subject to internal and external audit, and the accounts are available to public inspection.
This webpage provides the financial information as required by the auditors. It is also available in a standardised format know as the Transparency Code set by the Government.

Precept (FY2022-23)
The budget for the financial year from the 1st April 2022 to the 31st March 2023 was prepared by the Parish Council in January 2022. As a result of the budget, a Precept Demand for £11,700 was made on NNC.
This is £500 (4.46%) higher than last year - FY2021-22.
There were the equivalent of 222 Band D properties in the parish in January 2022 (7 more than last year), so £11,700 / 222 = £52.70. This 61p (1.17%) higher than for FY2021-22.
This is the rate of council tax per Band D property.
