At its meeting on 27th January 2026 Chelmarsh Parish Council agreed its budget and precept for the year 2026 - 2027.

The agreed figure of £14,230 is an increase of just £15 on the previous year.  There will be a small increase of 0.89% or £0.03p per week for a band D property. 
This is due to the decrease in the council tax base. 

Community Resource Oil Buying Club

Now is the time to take advantage of cheaper heating oil.  The price of oil is usually at it’s highest during December to February. You can save even more by being a part of our oil club. 

Community Resource is a local charity that runs a Community Oil Buying Club to reduce the heating costs of those living off gas. 

By bringing communities throughout Shropshire and surrounding areas together and making the most of joint buying power, we can make savings and pass them directly to people like you whose fuel costs are high simply because you aren't connected to mains gas.  

Being a member of the Club not only gives you great savings on your fuel bills but removes the often time-consuming task of ringing around suppliers for the best price.  With local coordinators on hand to help those without email, and access to suppliers who can deliver to remote properties, the scheme can cater for everyone’s circumstances. 

“It’s a brilliant scheme, easy to order and fantastic savings! A great service for Shropshire.”  

“That's an amazing price! I had to check it twice on the calculator. Why did we wait so long to join the Club?! Thank you very much.”  

Membership to the scheme is £27 per year and enables us to cover the admin costs for running this scheme.
