Precept for 2011.
It can be no surprise that budget for 2012/13 indicates that many of its operating costs are expected to increase. (See 2012/2013 budget)
The Parish Council is currently building a modest capital reserve to meet anticipated expenditure such as street light replacement (budget £1000 each) and events such as Local elections (circa £600).
Lyn Sowerbutts has kindly offerred to fill the post of 'Clerk to the Parish council' on a trial voluntary basis. (As a precaution, much of the cost of a paid clerk has been included in the budget.)
It was agreed that operating costs would be closely monitored to contain expenditure.
The precept for 2012 has been set at £3,850.
