Council 2026/27 Budget and Costs

Penyffordd Community Council – Budget Review and Precept for 2026/27

Each year, the Community Council calculates the spending needed for the year ahead. The Community Council have some statutory responsibilities and also undertakes work in the community for which budget is allocated.

We would like to inform residents that the budget review and precept request for the 2026/27 financial year has been approved at £133,112.  This equates to a Band D charge of £57.08 per year, which represents an increase of £3.24 for a Band D property.

Over the past year, the Council has successfully completed all planned projects, both historical and newly approved, and has also delivered several additional unplanned projects. As a result, it has been an exceptionally busy and productive year for the Council.

To minimise the impact on residents and prevent a larger increase in the Community Council element of council tax, the Council has taken a prudent approach and tightened its spending for the coming year.

It is hoped that after the next financial year, the Council will be in a stronger position to return to making further investments and improvements for the benefit of the community.
