PRESS RELEASE

CLANFIELD PARISH COUNCIL REDUCES PRECEPT!

Clanfield Parish Council has announced that its precept (the amount charged by the parish and included in the overall rates) to EHDC will be reduced for the coming year. The reduction is £ 1,000 and represents a reduction of a little over 1% less than the current year.

In commenting on this announcement the Parish Chairman, “Brian Ahern said that good news is always welcome” and although the reduction is modest it comes at a time when several other parishes are having to increase their charges. He said “that Clanfield was very fortunate and this reduction was due to a combination of tight financial controls managed by our Parish Clerk, Diane Duffy, ably supported by all Council members and an enthusiastic team of numerous village volunteers”.
