Month: January 2026

At Monday’s meeting of the Full Parish Council, Councillors agreed the budget and Parish Precept for the 2026/27 financial year.

For a Band D household, this will see the Parish Precept of the Council Tax increase by £8.40 a year (70p per month).

The precept is the Parish Council’s primary source of income, and is used to maintain, manage and improve all of our village facilities, fund projects such as playground improvements, provide grants to local community groups and charities, and a number of other essential Parish functions.

We’re excited to share that the Charvil Neighbourhood Plan has passed it’s examination by an independent examiner, subject to a few minor modifications to some wording.

The examiner praised the level of detail and depth of explanation within our Plan. A huge thank you to Charvil resident, and ex-Councillor, Rob Jones for leading on the project over the last few years, and for writing the Neighbourhood Plan, and to our Parish Clerk who has provided invaluable support throughout. 

The next stage of the process is for Wokingham Borough Council (WBC) to approve for the plan to go to a public referendum, where Charvil residents will decide if the plan is to be formally adopted. 

WBC will be voting on this at the end of February, with a potential referendum to take place in May.
