The precept for 2020/21 was £15,268. The precept for 2021/2022 will increase to £21,000, to ensure the precept covers the day-to-day running of the village.
A detailed breakdown of the accounts is shown below and the Council’s books will be available for inspection later this year.

Our litter pickers continue to do a good job. East Herts funds our litter pickers – £1,942 pa. Despite their hard work, it is not possible for them to clear every part of the parish on a regular basis, due to Health and Safety they are unable to clear beyond the village boundary.
I would like to see parishioners taking care of the areas around their homes by clearing some of the litter left by the thoughtless and uncaring, keeping to the pavements though and not stepping into the roads. The Council would very much like to thank those who already voluntarily clear litter.
The Council’s thanks go to the Gardening club who keeps our flower planters looking beautiful throughout the year. We are looking to purchase two wooden planters to go next to the bench on the Memorial green.
