Clerk’s Update
By Santi Gil, Clerk to Lindfield Rural Parish Council
At a full council meeting of LRPC on 13th January 2025, the council voted unanimously to increase our 2025/26 budget to a precept of £93,811. This is an annual increase of £1.83 for a Band D property, this would be a reported increase of 3.69%. These decisions are never taken lightly and LRPC scrutinised our expenditure and resolved that this was the necessary amount to maintain our service delivery. We do not wish to place excessive f inancial burdens on our residents, hence this minor increase. We still have a vacancy for a new co-opted councillor, please see advert (second image). We still have a few vacant plots at Gravelye Lane allotments. We are temporarily allowing non-residents to apply, so please contact us via the details below to apply for a plot. The costs are higher for non-residents, but not excessive. Summer is approaching, so get your wellies out and work on your new plot. All the very best from Sarah, Santi and Lissi the Rough Collie.
We predominantly work from home; however, we are very willing to meet with you on site or at our offices located in the Walstead Burial Ground. To make an appointment please contact us via the following methods: Website: http://lindfieldrural-pc.gov.uk/ Email: clerk@ lindfieldrural-pc.org.uk Telephone : 01444 831499
