The Parish

From Planning application to discussion about moving the village forward it's all happen here. The Village meeting is occurring quarterly check the calendar for the next one.

 The Parish Council is primarily funded through a levy on the council tax applied by Bath City council. This levy is called the Precept.

Every year the council has to budget its costs for the following year and from that budget request an appropriate Precept from Bathnes.

In England and Wales the council tax paid by all households is made up of several elements to pay for services provided by County Council, District Council (in Kelston these are combined in the City Council), Police, etc.  The Precept is the element charged by your local or parish council and is collected on its behalf as part of the overall Council Tax demand.  In 2015-16 87% of local councils in England are collecting a tax averaging (for a Council Tax Band D household) £54.12.

 BANES and its associated councils have declared a ‘Climate Crisis’ - to make a difference by engaging in local action to improve local areas and avoid wastefulness, protecting nature and green spaces.
The intention is to break down activity, for everyone to get involved, from insulating properties to planting trees and using public transport or bicycles where possible, to name but a few...
So, every month, there will be a topic for us all to consider how we might as individuals and a community, take action to improve our environment. If anyone does take action which is beneficial do please share it through me so that we can all enjoy the rewards.
