The Parish Council has managed the financial affairs of the Parish on a prudent basis for several years by not increasing the Precept (the amount of money the Council requests from South Northants Council to cover Parish expenses).

This includes the cost of:

Electricity, both supply, repairs & the cost of replacing the old concrete & wooden columns.

Dog Waste Bins, the purchase, installation & emptying

Playground Equipment, Maintenance, purchase of new equipment, insurance cost, Annual inspection costs

Grass mowing, You will have noticed the huge improvement in grass maintenance this year, with added areas now covered in the mowing contract.

Added to the above is the cost of the Clerk's salary & payroll expenses, Annual Audit fees - both internal & external (the Parish Council is audited three times each year)

Printing of Around Pattishall, the cost of maintaining the Website, the hire of the Parish Hall for meetings.

The Parish Council Insurance bill is now being reviewed due to rising costs.  

The Parish Council takes pride in being able to provide the 'services' demanded by the community.
