Latest News
Witchford Parish Council confirms that its precept - the tax paid by residents for the Parish Council's activities - has only risen by 0.3% this year. The figure quoted in the Council Tax demands recently sent out by ECDC is the result of a change in central government subsidy and the way this is calculated. Witchford Parish Council will only be receiving the amount it requested - that is only £100 more than in 2012-13 - and will NOT be receiving a 7%+ increase. East Cambridgeshire District Council has sent out this letter to try to explain the situation
