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.

You may have heard that landlines are changing and that the UK’s telephone network is going digital. These changes will affect everyone who has a landline they’d like to keep using. 

If you have loved ones with additional needs such as elderly relatives or someone who uses a telecare device or pendant alarm, our Connected Together initiative encourages you to take a few simple steps to support them through the switch.
