Your guide to Council Tax virtual brochure 2020/21

What your Parish or Town Council receives

We share each Parish Council’s Council Tax requirement (how much they need), based on a band D charge. Parish and Town Councils need extra money to pay for things like community centres, footpaths and extra street lighting. View the council tax bands

If the Parish or Town Council raises more than £140,000 from its local taxpayers, it must publish information about its spending plans. You can view the spending plans for Coggeshall Parish, Halstead and Witham Town Councils.
