Whitley Parish Council Precept statement 2023/24
At the Parish Council meeting on 17th January 2023, the precept for the year 2023/24 was discussed. It was agreed to increase the precept from £9,000 to £10,500 per annum.
This is the first time the precept has gone up since 2015.
The council are very aware of the pressures on all households at this time, unfortunately rising costs make the increase unavoidable.
As an example this will mean that a band D property will see an increase of £3.92 a year.
If you would like more information about the Parish Councils annual accounts or precept setting, please contact our Parish Clerk, Mr John Hunter - email clerk4whitleypc@gmail.com
The next council meeting will be on Tuesday 21st February at 7pm in the school.
Everyone is welcome.
The driver of the vehicle which damaged the planter in early January has been interviewed by the police.
The police have told us that the van involved was stolen and at this stage we don’t know anymore.
We
have obtained a quote for the repairs which will cost several hundreds of pounds.
The area has been tidied up, and hopefully it will not be too long before the repairs can be done.
GALE COMMON APPEAL TO THE HIGH COURT
On Friday we received the disappointing news that our final appeal was unsuccessful. We know this will be of great concern to many residents. The legal challenge to the hundreds of daily lorry movements from the site into our village is now at an end. This will allow EPUK Investments to start work to remove the ash along Whitefield Lane. The next stage will be to ensure EP keep to the conditions set out in the planning application.
