Budget and Precept Demand
This page with holds all documents to do with Budget and Precept Demands
Woolaston Parish Council has reviewed its budget for the new financial year – April 2024 to March 2025. It has set a budget of £31,182 with a precept demand of £22,985. The remainder of the Council’s income comes from Burial fees, refund of VAT paid the previous year and a Litter Agency Income.
The precept request means an increase of £1,301, which is an 6.3% rise compared to 2023-2024. This increase is required to as a result of increased inflation costs for all council activities / expenditure, and will enable it to continue to provide the level of services it has been providing in recent years. These include:
- the maintenance of the cemetery and closed churchyard
- dog bin collections.
- litter picking within the parish, keeping roads and pavements clear
- grass cutting and maintenance of the playing fields, playground and parklands, and some of the verges.
- the inspection and management of all the trees on parish council land (and there are hundreds of them!)
- ‘one off’ expenditure projects.
The average cost of these Parish Council services for a Band D household in 2024-25 is anticipated to be £43.46 (an increase of £2.60/6.35%) for the year.
