ANSEY PARISH COUNCIL – PRECEPT 2017
The Parish Council accounts have been running at a slight deficit annually due to several cost
increases. This deficit has been covered by using money that has been carried over for many years.
Unfortunately, the previously accrued amount is becoming exhausted and the Parish Council have
no option but to increase the annual precept this year by 25%.
Costs increases are listed below :
Litter Picking Salary increase in 2015 :
Clerk’s Salary increase in 2016 :
Grass cutting of the Playing Field 2016:
Increase of play equipment insurance 2016 :
Increase of Grass Cutting at St George’s Church 2017:
£100 pa
£210 pa
£535 pa
£ 63 pa
£400 pa
The Precept has remained at the same level, £3,800 for six years, however, with rising costs, it will
be raised to £4,750 this year. The total increase of £950 pa amounts to an additional sum of
approximately £6.78 per household for 2017.
If you would like to find out more about the precept, please contact the Parish Clerk, or East Herts
