Budget and Funding

Budget and Precept

On an annual basis, during December / January, the town council consider and set a budget. This sets out what the council is planning on spending money on in the next financial year.

On the basis of this budget the council then set a precept. This is collected for us by Central Bedfordshire Council. This is the main source of income received by the council. Other sources of income include sports fees, burial fees, event fees, bank and investment income and sponsorship

Information in respect of service charges for Central Bedfordshire council, the Police Authority and the Fire and Resuce Authority can be found on your individual council tax bill or visiting www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
