Precept 2026-2027

Waverley Community Council has agreed its precept for the 2026–27 financial year following its meeting in January 2026.

Last year, the Council set a zero precept and committed to giving residents an early indication of future requirements. At that time, several elements of the Community Centre project were still uncertain, and the estimated amount for a Band D household was expected to be around £100 per year.

Following updated financial information and confirmation of Community Centre running cost projections, the Council has now approved a precept request of £121,508.90 which has been submitted to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council.

This precept equates to £66.07 per year for a Band D dwelling — approximately £5.51 per month.

The Council remains committed to transparency and responsible financial planning as it continues to support local residents, groups and community facilities.
