Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

The PC met last night.

Amongst topics discussed, was the 25-26 budget and precept.

The PC is always very careful with public money and it was decided to request the same precept sum from County Hall as 24-25.

As the number of houses in the parish has increased this will mean a 1.34% reduction in what you actually pay.  It will only be a few pence a month, but it indicates the prudence of the council.
