Your views on council tax contributions to policing

The Government is giving Police and Crime Commissioners the flexibility to increase the policing element of the council tax in 2022 by £10 per year (for a Band D property) to fund the increasing demands on policing. With over 60% of council taxpayers in the Hampshire Constabulary policing area living in properties that are Band A-C the majority of people would see an increase of less than £10 a year.

I have launched my annual police budget precept consultation and want to hear residents’ views. I am asking local residents to complete an online survey and/or to sign up to a focus group:

Millennium Field Wildflower Audit

A botanical survey of the Millennium Field was carried out at the beginning of July by Steve Povey, a member of the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland. You will see from the attached report here that over 76 species were found.

Sheet Parish Council is very grateful to Steve Povey and his able assistants, Tony Clear and Bill Lowe, for this very interesting piece of work.

Agendas are posted on the village noticeboards outside the village hall and in Pulens Lane, as well as on this website, and will give details of how you can join the meetings. Our elected representatives from Hampshire County Council and East Hampshire District Council are present at most meetings.

The next full meeting of the Parish Council is on Tuesday 11th January 2022 at 7.30pm. The agenda for the meeting is available here.
