LIPC has requested £47,000 for the year 2008/09.
This equates to about £1 per week for a Band ‘D’ household in the village.

The precept income is spread across 4 sub-committees:
(£)
General Council 19,700
Open Spaces 17,200
Street Lighting 9,100
Community Centre 1,000
The overall budget for 2008/09 is:
INCOME
Precepted income from above 47,000
Community Centre Mngmnt Committee Fund-Raising 5,800
Additional funds received (grants, donations, interest) 3,500
56,300
Expenditure
Wages & salaries 22,675
Mowing, strimming, litter picking, repairs & maintenance 10,100
Improvements to street lighting, play areas, etc 6,500
Loan repayments (new playing field) 6,369
Power (electricity, oil, water) 3,751
Insurance, audit & rates 3,200
Administration, telephones, stationery, LI Diary 2,505
Subscriptions, donations & grants 1,200
56,300

The council is still struggling to compensate for the loss of the £5,350 Section 136 reimbursements from the District Council which was withdrawn 2 years ago. There are a number of pressing items which have forced us to raise the precept significantly above the prevailing rate of inflation. However, it must be stressed that some 10% of our income now goes towards paying bills which were previously funded by the District Council.
A detailed explanation of the increased precept will be presented to the Annual Parish Meeting.
