- Parish Councils are funded by what is known as a ‘precept’. This is a sum of money which is calculated and applied for annually, from Durham County Council, having been incorporated with the local Council Tax.
Expenditure includes insurance of Parish Council assets, maintenance of village projects, audit fees, the Clerk’s salary and other minor expenses. A detailed annual return accounting for the use of finances must be produced and submitted to the Audit Commission each year.
