The information is this leaflet shows how the money received from West Lindsey District Council will be spent.
Contained within the total amount to be spent by all Parish Councils in the West Lindsey District area is the sum of £201,500 which is required by Nettleham Parish Council for the 2024/25 precept.
This means that there will be a 1% increase in the annual Parish Council tax which will be £122.88 for a Band D property.
The precept if further analysed below:
| Estimated Expenditure | Value |
|---|---|
| Administration | £100,288 |
| Burial Ground | £12,980 |
| Old School | £37,102 |
| Mulsanne Park | £28.391 |
| Neighbourhood Plan | £2,400 |
| Village Amenities (Bishops Meadow, Allotments, Bill Baileys Memorial Field, Play areas, Grass cutting, Swathe, Street Furniture, Litter picking, Vicar’s Wood, field paths, floral/planter displays & areas of the village beck) | £82,207 |
| Capital reserves | £4,258 |
| Total Expenditure | £267,626 |
| Less Income | £66,126 |
| Balance to be funded by Local Charge Payers | £201,500 |
The Parish Council plans to continue to improve local facilities which will include improvements to play areas, continuing plans to extend the burial ground, new allotments and the Climate Change Working Group will be creating wildflower meadows and walkways at The Old Quarry and tree planting at Bill Baileys Field.
It is recognised that residents continue to face mounting household expenses and we do not wish to add to such burdens. The Council have managed costs prudently throughout 2023/24 whereby savings can and have been made and this will continue through 2024/25.
There has been a further increase in new properties within the parish which provides additional contributions which has enabled us to keep the increase in the precept to just 1%.
