The Parish Council have announced a significant increase in their share of our Council Tax.
In order to balance their books DPC have decided to increase their precept for the coming 2016/17 tax year. The charge for a Band D property will go up from £20.41 in the current year to £21.94, an increase of 7.5%. This is the first significant increase for many years.
It must be stressed that this forms a very small part of the total tax bill; £1,504.96 for a Denton Band D property in the current year. The amounts charged by the other authorities, the county and district councils and the police authority, and their impact on the total CT bills are not yet known.
Further information about the Council Tax system can be found on the PC Finance Page.

Save energy costs with Big Switch and Save - deadline 2nd February
Big Switch and Save is a Norfolk-wide collective energy switching scheme which offers residents the chance to save money on their energy bills.
In South Norfolk it is being led by Community Action Norfolk (CAN) and supported by the District Council.
Big Switch and Save invites people to sign up to take part in a ‘reverse auction’ in which energy suppliers compete to offer competitive tariffs to anyone who may be considering changing their supplier. People who find they are offered a better tariff than their current rate can then switch suppliers through the scheme, to save money on their gas and electricity bills. By grouping households together it's possible to negotiate much lower energy tariffs than an individual switching supplier on their own.
It’s simple to take part, it’s free of charge and no commitment is required. If you’re not happy with the new tariff offered, you simply continue with your current supplier.
Registration is quick and easy. You’ll need to have details of how much gas and electricity you currently use. This can be found on your annual statement from your energy supplier or on your energy bills. You can register online at www.bigswitchandsave.co.uk Up to five households can register from the same e-mail address. If you don’t have e-mail yourself you can ask a friend or family member to register from their e-mail address. For help registering on-line, call 0800 0488 285.
