The Parish Council precept for the year starting 1st April 2025 will be £173,000. This is an increase from a static 2-year period of £160,000.
Many of the Council’s ongoing costs have increased, and the council are also aware of the needs of the parish with regards to the overall appearance, in the light of Swindon Borough Council’s published financial constraints. The Parish Council has set aside a budget of £8000 for 25/26 to fund activities to improve the general appearance of the parish. The EGPA committee will be responsible for administering these funds throughout the year.
In terms of actual figures, for a band D household, the annual amount you pay on council tax will increase by £9.47 per year. This is equal to 0.78p per month or 0.18p per week.
