Approved budget for 2026-2027

At the parish council meeting on 17 November, the budget for the next financial year was approved and can be viewed here Approved Budget 2026-27

After an estimated income of £600 has been taken into account, this will equate to a Precept of £14,905 being requested from Wiltshire Council. This is a 5.27% increase over the current year and takes into account various factors including statutory requirements on how our website operates, a possible increase to the number of hours your new Clerk will be working and the need to try to build slightly higher working reserves so that we are better equipped to deal with sudden unplanned expenditure.
