Annual Parish Assembly & Accounts

CASTLE HEDINGHAM PARISH COUNCIL

BUDGET 2023-2024 Approved January 2023 

The Audit Commission requires local councils in England with an annual turnover of £6.5million or less to complete an annual return summarising their activities at the end of each financial year.

Every year in May, the Parish Council distributes an Annual Report of its activities over the past year to all households in the village, and publishes the Annual Accounts on the noticeboard at St James Street. The Annual Parish Assembly is held shortly afterwards, which is an opportunity for parishioners to find out more about the work of the Parish Council, District Council and County Council and comment on plans for the coming year.  It is also an opportunity to share news of village groups and activities. Everyone is welcome.

The annual reports and Annual Governance and Accountability Returns of the Parish Council are available using the links below and electors have the right to inspect the accounts - please contact the Parish Clerk for more information.
