Parish Precept for 2025/6

The Parish Precept forms part of your annual council tax, and is the primary source of income for the Parish Council. We spend this money on maintaining and improving a number of facilities around Charvil, from litter bins to the Village Hall.

In April, the Parish Precept will be increasing by 10.8%. For a Band D property, this will be an additional charge of £8.61 for the year, or around 72p per month.

We appreciate that any increase in your monthly outgoings is difficult. However, due to expected additional expenditure, and changes to employer National Insurance contributions in the coming financial year, the Council was left with no other option than to increase the Precept.

We will be continuing with our programme of village improvements, including repairs and upgrades to our play areas and facilities.

This year, we plan to resurface and repaint both the Village Hall car park and our tennis courts, ensuring they are safe and fit for use for the coming years. We are also exploring options to improve the play area next to the Pavilion, making it safer and usable for a wider range of residents.
