Cam Parish Council receives most of its income by way of a Precept
upon the District Council, which then collects this funding through
the Council Tax.
In addition, it receives income from such sources as allotment
and grass keep rents and contributions to grounds maintenance costs
by users of facilities.
This income may be supplemented from time to time by specific
funding, for example in the case of the operation of the Little
Green Bus service, which is grant aided by the Countryside Agency.
Cam Parish Council's expenditure is divided into six main sections:
Administration - includes premises and staff costs, insurance,
subscriptions, fees, advertising and publicity and training
Full Council - includes cost of Parish Handyman, contribution
to Neighbourhood Warden scheme and mobile police stations and other
issues affecting the parish as a whole, such as the cost of elections
Recreation & Leisure - includes provision and maintenance
of play areas and equipment, open spaces and allotments, also bus
shelters and street furniture and community action projects
Grants & Donations - Contributions made to voluntary
organisations benefiting the local community and support for the
arts and for children's out of school schemes
Footpaths - Contribution to the cost of grounds maintenance
and other measures on the local footpath network
