What does the Parish Council Do?
Mancetter Parish Council pays to maintain to a high standard the picturesque village green, St Peter’s churchyard and Mancetter Cemetery as well as Ridge Lane Allotments and the entrances to several miles of rights of way and rural footpaths.
The Council uses local contractors (thank you Rob, Barry and John) and employs a part time clerk and responsible financial officer to implement the work of the Parish Council which is also a burial authority.
They rent an office base in Mancetter Memorial Hall so that members of the Public can arrange a face to face visit as well as using the phone, email and website addresses.
Launched in 2022, Mancetter Parish Council also has a Facebook page to share information via social media.
Parish Council Precept
The Precept is the way that the Parish Council raises money to cover expenditure for the year and is charged through the council tax system.
Everyone is facing rising bills so the council has carefully reviewed its costs.
At the Parish Council meeting on 24th January 2023, it was unanimously agreed to increase the total annual precept to £33,000.
This is an overall increase of £1000.00 equal to a percentage increase of 3.13%
This means that the Parish Council element on a band D property is increasing by 2.09% which is 99p a year.
If you live in Bands A - D the total Parish Council rise is under £1.00 for the year.

REPORTING SPEEDING CONCERNS
Warwickshire Road Safety Partnership is bringing partners together to improve the approach on how we investigate and respond to residents’ concerns of speeding in their area. A consistent and data-led approach has been developed which considers all types of personal injury collisions reported and average speed data at the location.
