The Parish Council is delighted to announce that there will be no annual increase in the Parish Precept, for the year 2023/24. We realise residents have already encountered major increases in cost of living and energy costs during the year and we do not want to add to those burdens. The Council has also seen a further increase in the number of new properties built within the parish, including at Minster Fields and Romangate. New development provides additional contributions towards the Parish Precept which in turn will help to cover our anticipated inflation related increases and financial provision towards our earmarked project reserves.
During 2022 - 2023 we have undertaken a major renovation of the Mulsanne Park Pavilion, having received grants to the value of £25K from the Football Association and £8K from West Lindsey District Council. The grant funding has reduced the money needing to be spent on the project from our earmarked reserves. The Pavilion has been fully refurbished to include: a new larger kitchen, new windows, new flooring and the building is now well insulated. It has solar panels on the roof and energy battery storage will help us to save on energy costs. Again, savings have been made with grant funding of £5K from West Lindsey District Council and £5K from Lincolnshire County Council.
There have been several climate change initiatives including tree planting at the Fire and Rescue HQ, Mulsanne Park and Minster Fields. An electric van is on order and a charge point has been installed at the Parish Office. We are also working with a designer in order to extend the Council’s burial ground into the area known as the Swathe.
