Council Tax, grants policy and youth services on the Parish Council agenda

Residents are welcome at the next Full Parish Council meeting, where Councillors will be asked to approve a 3% increase in the Parish element of 2025/6 Council Tax. This would mean each Band D property paying £133.32 of their total Council Tax bill to the Parish (an increase of £3.89) and would take the total value of Parish ‘precept’ to £455,489.17.

Other agenda items for discussion include:

  • Youth Provision in Histon and Impington to end of Academic Year 24/25, including the extension of the funding of Connections Bus Project for four months to July 2025 at a cost of £8,695, and approval for a Youth Provision Group to complete a draft Community Action plan for Youth Provision in Histon and Impington by June 2025.
  • A new Grants Policy to cover the funding of initiatives proposed by community groups.
  • A funding request for £11,000 for Age UK to provide Community Warden services in the village.
  • Approval of a spend of £40 to allow for two Parish Council attendances at monthly markets in the Methodist Church.

The meeting takes place on Monday 20 January in the Community Room at the Rec, starting at 7.30pm. All Histon & Impington residents are invited to attend to listen to the debates, and any resident wishing to address the meeting should contact the office to request a slot.
