2023 precept

The December parish council meeting is where the precept and budget for the coming financial year is discussed and agreed. The councillors recognised that the cost of living has increased substantially over the past six months and so agreed not to increase the precept (the charge levied by the council to allow it to operate) this year.

Although the parish council component of Council Tax is very small in comparison with the other elements, the councillors felt it was important to recognise the challenges some will be facing and not increase the precept.

The members of Aston Rowant Parish Council would like to wish all parishioners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
