Explanation of Variances

* Chapel - this is a derelict building owned by the Parish Council. The insurance cost starting from 2025/2026 will be accounted for under a separate cost centre

** Transfer to Earmarked Reserves. The Parish Council owns on behalf of Coggeshall residents a large number of significant heritage assets which incur long term maintenance costs. The Council believes that is essential that funds are allocated to defray these liabilities

*** The Council is expanding employee hours to be able to deal with the increasing demands of maintaining it's assets
