The Simpson and Ashland Parish Budget 2019/20
The Parish Budget for Simpson and Ashland Parish Council for the 2019/20 year was agreed at the January 2019.
As you may be aware, part of your Community Charge is a Parish Precept which the Parish Council receives to facilitate the services provided by the Council such as emptying the Dog Bins around the Parish, events, grants to local groups, and so on.
Each year the Parish Council must decide to agree the amount of precept we will set, based on its spending requirements for the coming year. This year we agreed again to increase the precept by 6.75%, this is the same amount of increase as last year.
We have a cash and reserves balance of £105,700 at present, of which £53,611 has been set aside for the services we may have to or wish to take over. The Parish also owns the Village Hall and naturally we must ensure we reserve enough money to ensure the up keep of the building, it does make a profit at present which is a bonus, but should the roof fall in we need to have adequate reserves to repair it. Should you require further clarification of the above please do not hesitate to contact us.
If you have any questions on the Budget please contact the Parish Clerk. We are always happy to receive comments and suggestions as to what you would like the Parish Council to provide regarding services etc. and Councillors will of course be happy to talk to you about what you would like in the parish.
