The Annual Budget
Mawnan Parish set its annual budget for the upcoming year at the same time the precept is set in December to start on 1st April.
Discussions begin in September/ October each year on the spending priorities that are felt to be most important for the parish in the upcoming year, and how much funding should be made available. This also takes into account how much we have held in general reserves and how much of this we are willing to spend.
Occasionally due to urgent projects or works beyond anticipation it is agreed for extra funding to be added to the budget in year from general reserves.
