The Town Council is keen to share information with residents about the Council’s budgets and financial position. Each year a statement on the draft budget and Precept for the new financial year is published on this page below. The Precept is the amount of council tax money we have calculated we need from residents to provide the services of Edenbridge Town Council.
Preparations for the new financial year’s draft budget starts in September/October time. The Town Clerk and the Responsible Finance Officer (RFO) review the Town Council’s income and expenditure, reserves, and its budgets, together with the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the Finance Committee. The Forward Planning Steering Group considers the Council’s projects and if any of these may have an impact on the Precept. A view on the Council’s finances and Precept is presented to Finance Committee to consider and prepare the draft budget so that a recommendation on the Precept can be made. This is presented to the full Council December meeting to consider. Once the full Council has confirmed its recommendations for the budget and Precept, the draft budget is then published here, on the Council’s website. At the Council’s January meeting it will reconsider, and confirm the budget and Precept for the coming financial year.
