How is Singleton Parish Council funded?
Our funding is allocated by Chichester District Council (CDC)and is taken from the area’s council tax; called an Annual Precept. The income and expenditure for the next financial year are calculated in the form of estimates and this amount is added to residents local council tax and then returned to us in two yearly installments. We inform CDC how much precept we require on an annual basis in January once the budget has been agreed.
The Annual Precept for 2024/25 is set at £26,608.00
The precept for 2024/25 has been increased by 5p per week, for a
Band D property, .
Your Parish Council continually strives to improve the
facilities and ambience of the villages; the main project for 2024/25 is to improve parking outside Singleton School. Work on the Community Highways Scheme will begin at the end of 2024 and run into early 2025.
Several of these projects require funding through our precept along with grant
funding we seek from third parties, the Precept increase gives us modest
additional scope to keep investing on behalf of our villages
