Financial and Open Data

We are committed to publishing as much information and data as we can, free of charge. This Open Data area has been created to help us to:

• Increase openness and transparency.
• Make the data we hold freely available online (subject to the Data Protection Act).
• Encourage the public to interact with and use the data that is available.
• Publish data in a machine readable format so that is can be re-used.

The Precept is the element of your Council Tax that is paid to Barwell Parish Council.

Every year, the Parish Council draws up budgets and calculates how much money it needs for the next Financial Year. These are then submitted to Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council co-ordinate the other demands from Leicestershire County Council, Police and themselves and come up with the rate to be paid from 1st April that year.

Further details of the Parish Council's budgets can be found here.

The Parish publishes a monthly list of payments made. These can be viewed in documents
