HoW WE MANAGE OUR FINANCES

Financial Management

The Parish Council is funded through a portion of Council Tax collected by Wiltshire Council. Each year, the Council determines the precept—the amount required to support its activities and services—after accounting for any remaining funds from the previous year and any grants received.

Below, you will find information on our financial management, including copies of financial statements in accordance with legislative requirements. Key financial documents, such as Annual Statements, Budgets, and Accounts, are available for download. The website maintains financial records for the past 12 months; for copies of older documents, please contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@westlavington.org.uk.
