THE PARISH
BUDGET
The budgeting process takes place during December / January prior to the
forthcoming financial year and defines what funds are required to carry out the
proposed business of the Council in serving the local community.
The Council considers when and how much of the budgeted funds should be spent
on any particular service or project. The forecast end of year carry-forward is
then off-set against the budget to leave the precept. The precept is sourced by
the District Council, on behalf of the Parish Council, from local tax payers
via Council Tax.
For the Financial Year 2011 / 2012 the Council has budgeted for a precept of £185,159 to support a budget expenditure
of £270,077.
On a band D property this
represents a rate of £59.31. Although this represents an increase of £12.41
from the 2010/2011 charges, this equates to just over £1/month on a Band D property.
The average Band D rate in
South Staffordshire is £48.94.
Of the 27 Parish Councils
in South Staffordshire Brewood and Coven Parish Council is one of 7 Parish
Councils (Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley,
Kinver, Penkridge, Perton
and Wombourne) whose precept exceeds £140,000.
