TOWN councillors in Warminster are being asked to approve a 43.8 per cent increase in their budget precept for the next financial year.
Councillors will be asked to make a decision at their finance and asset committee meeting on Monday, January 6.
If approved, it would raise the budget for the financial year 2020/21 to £1,130,666, an increase of £344,183.
That would be equivalent to a Band D Council Tax of £183.63 a year, or an increase of £3.52 a week.
This would be a rise of £55.67 on last year’s budget precept, equivalent to £1.07 a week, an increase of 43.51 per cent.
The town council’s annual budget was £786,483 for the current financial year for 2019/20.
Committee members are recommending the budget as drafted to the full council, unless other members have any further amendments to make.
