In these times of austerity the Parish Council recognises that it has a responsibility to endeavour to maintain services whilst remain cost effective and seek to assist parishioners by keeping the Parish Precept at a responsible level.

At the Parish Council Meeting, held on Friday, 17th January 2014, the Council resolved a 0% increase to the Parish Precept, so it will remain at £137,656.00, for 2014-15. The Chairman, Cllr. Paul Smith said, “I am highly delighted to announce that the Parish Council has agreed that the Parish Precept will remain at its current level for the second year in succession. The Parish Council is working hard to deliver and maintain services in the parish. In 2014-15 the Council’s priorities will be to continue making improvements to the Village Hall and undertake resurfacing, re-lining and tidy the area left after the demolition of the former public toilets on Market Place Car Park as its main priorities for 2014-15.”
