Budget 2024/25 - Response

Please find below a response from the Parish Council to queries raised on the 2024/25 budget: 

At the meeting of Full Council held at Judson’s Pavilion on Tuesday 16th January, a question was asked about staffing levels and costs and I would like to take the opportunity to respond fully to the points raised.

We are fortunate as a parish that we have a CILCA qualified Clerk and RFO who is contracted for 32.5 hours per week and a Deputy Clerk’s position ( currently vacant) for 30 hours per week.

Pitfield Green Toilets - Statement

In 2017, we were offered the opportunity of taking over the Toilets from Gravesham Borough Council who had confirmed that they wished to close them. A survey of parishioners was carried out and in a parish of approximately 6500 at the time, a response was received from 149. Of these 149, 136 were in favour so a response rate of just over 2%. On this basis, it was determined that responsibility and costs would pass to the Parish Council.
