Can you help Girton Parish Council as we decide upon the Girton Parish Council’s precept for 2024/2025, (see below)?

Note: The precept is the parish council’s share of the council tax. It is calculated as part of the parish council’s budget and is the amount of council tax that the billing authority collects on behalf of a parish council. The precept demand goes to the billing authority, which collects the tax for the Parish Council. The ‘Precept’ is converted into an amount per Council Tax Band that is added onto the Council Tax bill.
One of the most important decisions, if not the most important decision that every Parish Council has to make is to plan a budget to cover Operations, Asset Management and New Projects each year. Girton Parish Council wishes to understand better your requirements and needs in order to make better decisions on your behalf.
Girton’s precept is currently £74.51 for a band D house and is currently ranked 66 in terms of size out of 103 Parish Councils in SCDC. The precept was raised by £0.92 by Girton Parish Council last year and has seen a rise of £7.03 over the past 5 years.
This year in order to ensure that our budget better understands the needs and aspirations of all Girton residents and to allow us to set a realistic, transparent 3-year plan.
What matters to you in Girton? What should your council be budgeting for in 2024/25 and the next three years?
Please can you fill in our very short survey below? We will share the results with you and include your input in our precept setting discussions. The deadline for responding is Friday 22nd December. However, the speedier your response the more that Council can take these into account before we set the precept in early January. This questionnaire gives Girton residents further opportunities to consider input from people who live in Girton.
