The Council derives its funding from a share of the Council Tax, which is collected by Wiltshire Council.

 

The Parish Council agrees 'the precept' in January each year, which is calculated to be the sum it requires from the Council Tax, from April onwards, to fund its activities and services (less any remaining funds from the previous year and grants it may receive from time to time).

 

The Parish Council has now set its budget for the coming year (starting April 1st).

 

The planned budget spend for the financial year 2026-2027 is £16,000.00 This represents an 8.90% in in the Band D cost from, £92.05 to £100.24.
