MEETINGS AND FINANCE
Finance
Our financial year runs from 1st April to 31st March. We agree an annual budget in November each year and also decide on how much the annual Precept should be set at. The Precept for 2023 - 2024 has been set at £4,000.00 Our accounts are subject to an annual internal control check by a local auditor. The accounts are adopted by the Parish Council in May and the annual return documents and the accounts are displayed on the website and can be inspected by the public. The inspection dates are listed on the document which can be viewed on the website, on the Documents page under Finances and on the village notice board. The Section 137 limit for 2023-2024 will be £9.93 from 1st April 2023. This figure is calculated in accordance with Schedule 12B of the Local Government Act 1972. Section 137 allows a local council to incur expenditure which benefits their community, where there is otherwise no Power to do so. The annual maximum that can be spent is £9.93 multiplied by the number of electors.

Minutes and Agendas
Minutes and Agendas of meetings held by the Parish Council are available for download.
Minutes of full Parish Council meetings are available to read between one to weeks after a council meeting and are published here (see below). They are published in draft form on the website and the notice board within a week of the meeting and approved at the next council meeting. Agendas are published a week before a Tuesday meeting. A copy is also displayed on the noticeboard on The Street and on this website. All documents are in PDF format unless otherwise stated, so they should be opened and view within your web browser. For copies of minutes prior to 2016 please contact the Clerk.
​
Venue: The Parish Council will now meet at The Village Hall at 7.30 pm on a Tuesday every 3 months.
Anyone is welcome to attend the meetings but whilst members of the public cannot participate all the way through the meeting, a short period of time is given for members of the public to air their views on matters directly related to the Parish Council.
