Parish Precept 2011/12 There is a small reduction in the proposed precept from last year. The parish council will be asking West Lindsey District Council for £139,296. The cost will therefore remain constant with for example a Band D property remaining at £98.42 for the year This will reduce if new properties are built.

The community centre, including the bar is anticipated to make a contribution of £12,588 toward village costs. We are anticipating making grant applications of £10,000 to support our Sports Development work. We have decided to set aside £17,500 into reserves. A budget of £750 has been allocated for the general election in May

Government changes Localism bill is passing powers and responsibilities into the hands of parish councils rather than central government. Cuts mean that the parish council will have to make up the shortfall themselves in order to retain local services. This has already happened with the Bridge Street toilets, the costs going forward are to be met by the Parish Council.
