2011-12-29 Precept Rise in Aberford |
Aberford Parish Councillors have unanimously decided to raise the precept from £9000 to £11000, the first increase for 2 years. Their projected running costs for the next financial year are just over £13000, although this may be reduced. The Council felt it prudent to broadly maintain the current level of revenue reserve (approximate to one year’s expenditure) as more and more responsibilities are being passed down to Parish Councils, including the expenditure that goes with them.
