The Parish Council's precept forms a small part of your total Council Tax bill. Aside from a very small amount of other income, the precept is the only source of funding for the parish council.
Hadnall Parish Council is responsible for local maintenance issues (e.g. some street lights, the play equipment, some trees, grass cutting, etc.) but is not responsible for matters such as highway repairs, bus services, etc. which come under Shropshire Council.
2026-27 budget and precept
At a meeting on the 12th January 2026, the Parish Council agreed their budget and resolved to request a precept of £16648. This represents an increase of approx. £3.03 per year on average Band D Council Tax.
For more information, see the documents below.
Please note that calculations are based on information provided by Shropshire Council which is based on averages. The actual parish council precept shown on your Council Tax bill may vary slightly from the figures shown above, even if your property is in Band D.
A note about reserves:
The reserves that the Parish Council currently holds (as at January 2026) are composed of
a) £40K (plus interest) in earmarked funds received from CIL (Community Infrastructure Levy) grants. This money is set aside for particular community projects and cannot be spent on regular (revenue) expenditure.
b) A general reserve. Financial regulations require the parish council to hold 50% - 100% of its annual budgeted expenditure in general reserves.
