Neighbourhood Plan Funding

  • Total grant monies/earmarked funds received for NHP:

£13,000

  • Total grant monies/earmarked funds spent on NHP: £11,634
  • Remaining funds: £1,366

plus budget allocation for 2019/20 of £1,000

Dogmersfield Parish Council

SLIDE 15

In summary:

  • The NHP has been funded to its final stages entirely by grant

and earmarked monies, and all grants applied for have been spent

  • A small increase in the precept for 2019/20 is justified by the

need to avoid a large increase later

  • DPC have sound accounts and the reserves are in line with our

agreed policy

  • An Internal Audit will take place later in the month and will be

carried out by a independent accountant
