Management of finances

Every month the Parish Council's Proper Financial Officer prepares a budget monitor which is presented at the council meeting.  This shows the current spend to date under the budget headings. 

This forms part of the Council's good  governance and ensures careful management of its finances.

The budget monitor is available to view with each agenda
