Draft Budget 2025/26.
A draft of the 2025/26 expenditure and income figures were projected onto the TV screen and the meeting proceeded to scrutinise the figures line by line.
During this discussion the Parish Council formulated their plan of what it was hoped to achieve during the next financial year.
An agreement in principle was reached for a small increase to the precept of approx. £1.11 per year per household in a Band D Council tax bracket. This was felt to be a reasonable outcome although would still require the expected deficit of approximately £4k to be met from a combination of a possible underspend in this year’s budget combined with drawing on reserves. A resolution will be put to Full Council at the next meeting on 7th January 2025.
24/25-98 Reserves Policy. It was felt that further work on the wording was required.
Action: to c/f to March meeting.
