2024-25 Finance
Precept
Within every household council tax bill you will see there is an element for the local East Woodhay Parish Council, which is called precept.
This money pays for local facilities such as the maintenance of recreation grounds, trees, hedges and equipment at Heath End and Woolton Hill (including CCTV), the parish field in Woolton Hill, footpath repairs, the speed indicator, plus a litter warden, parish clerk, war memorials at East End and Woolton Hill etc.
Basingstoke and Deane have released their charges for 2024/25- see here for info relating East Woodhay.
On 27th November 2023 the first draft of the EWPC budget was proposed to the council. Some small revisions have been made but we are expecting the budget to be approved at the March 2024 meeting. The document below explains our high level costs.
