Town council set to vote on 8.83 per cent precept rise
A town council is set to discuss an increase to its precept.
Shifnal Town Council will be holding an extraordinary meeting on Thursday - February 6.
The meeting will take place at 6pm at Shifnal Community Hub.
Councillors will consider a motion that would see an 8.83 per cent increase on the town council section of a council tax bill for 2025/26.
If approved it would mean the average Band D property would pay £159.94 for the year - an increase of £12.98.
The proposal is to raise a precept of £577,399.
The amount would go towards a planned annual budget of £635,572, funded by a £58,172 contribution from reserves.
Limited seating is available - ten seats, so any members of the public wishing to attend are asked to contact the council to book a space - by emailing info@shifnaltowncouncil.gov.uk or calling 01952 461420.
