Parish councillors are elected to collectively manage and spend the parish precept in such a way that benefits residents in the parish. The parish council prepares a budget annually and this determines the value of the precept for the following financial year. 

Our Deputy Parish Clerk is also our Responsible Finance Officer, responsible for the day-to-day management.

The parish council budget includes costs for: staff, grounds maintenance, playground maintenance, CCTV, litter collections, speed limit reminders, co-funding of the Fleet Link bus service, funding towards the maintenance of the Basingstoke canal and various projects to improve facilities in the parish.
