Precept

The funding for Parish Councils is allocated by the District Council and is taken from the area’s council tax; this is called an annual precept. The income and expenditure for the next
financial year are calculated in the form of estimates and this amount is added to the local council tax and then returned to the parishes in two half-yearly instalments.

The Local Council Award Scheme – Foundation (formally “Quality Parish status increases the level of responsibility and therefore the proportion of funds allocated to that Council. Hempnall Parish Council has obtained Foundation status which opens up a route to even more benefits and grants to help us promote a better lifestyle in the Parish.
