The Duxford Parish Council Precept increase in year 2018/19
reflects:
- an Overheads increase to fund the introduction of on-line
packages to help us manage the village accounts,
cemetery and allotments. When fully embedded, these will
improve our efficiency and help Clerk reduce her time in
managing these. The budget also includes increased
training funds for our new Councillors. - an increase in our Operations budget that will enable us to:
– undertake a necessary graveyard audit, complete the
most urgent repairs and complete the overall
cemetery tidy-up;
– complete the refurbishment of the bus shelters and
benches
– continue the increased frequency of summer grass cutting - a budget of £20,000 to help fund necessary professional
fees as we pursue the creation of the Community Centre,
in line with village wishes expressed at the November 2016
Referendum result.
