Hixon Parish Council Budget 2024 to 2025
Hixon Parish Council has set its budget for the municipal year 1st April 2024 to March 31st 2025. The Council has agreed to raise the amount of ‘tax’ it charges to households in the Parish. In total, the Parish Council will receive £ 38,862.36 from Hixon households. Total income is forecast to be £ 46,484, which includes grants from Stafford Borough Council and national Government.
Administration and office costs have a budget of £16,805. A further £17,000 has been allocated for new facilities on the Church Lane playing fields and replacements. Environmental improvements will cost £3,000 and £1,750 has been set aside for road gulley emptying. If the Council completes all the work it has planned for, the total expenditure could be £ 68,733. However, it is unlikely this will happen, in which case the un-spent funds will be rolled forward to 2025-2026.
