Council Tax to Rise
Posted
As expected, we will all be paying more Council Tax in 2025/6.
Of course, most of our Council Tax goes to pay for the services provided by the County and District Councils and the Police Authority, but the fourth party involved is our own Parish Council. However, they are responsible for little more than 10% of the total sum we all pay.
The others have yet to declare how much they will be levying in the next financial year, but at last night's DPC meeting the Parish Precept, the sum required for parish purposes was discussed and set.
The Council decided that to meet inflation etc. they would set the Precept at £5,000, up from £4,500 in the current year,It is feared that the increases set by the three other bodies will be at least as large.
