See what the Parish Council's main responsibilities are.

News:

Saltford's Parish precept for 2010-11 will be reduced by 13% to £24,000. This is largely due to the Parish Council office shortly moving into Saltford Library, meaning a reduced rent for premises, a contribution to the library's overheads reducing their costs, the chance for them to increase their opening hours at no extra cost, and improved accessibility to the Clerk for Saltford residents.

The Parish Council has transferred ownership and responsibility for the bus shelters in Saltford back to Bath & NE Somerset Council.  Ownership of the shelters gave no benefit to the people of Saltford and the cost of insuring them had to be covered by the Parish precept.

Somer Housing have offered to replace the trees that were cut down on the green on Broadway with new trees.  The Parish Council is proposing to ask them to plant 3 or 4 flowering cherries.  Any comments to the Clerk.

Events coming up:
