Letter to Residents Regarding the Precept Increase for 2025-2026

We know things are financially difficult already for many people across this country, and we genuinely regret having to place any further burden onto our residents.

As a council, we have also been impacted by rising costs, and while we are committed to maintaining essential services for our community, we have had to make some difficult decisions. We truly regret the strain this may cause, and please know that this decision was not made lightly.

For more detailed information, we have created an open letter to residents, which outlines the financial considerations behind this decision.

We hope this provides clarity and context for you.
