PRECEPT 2024/25
As you will be aware the precept has hardly changed for the last 5 years but with increasing costs and no income sources other than the precept or grants, the council agreed to increase the precept this year from £11507 to £13136, an increase of £1629. Any balance of overspend will be met by the Parish Council reserves.

FINGRINGHOE HISTORICAL RECORDS DATABASE
In order to make this material more easily accessible to anyone interested in the history of Fingringhoe, the archive has recently been catalogued on computer. Each of over 6,000 items has been numbered, described briefly and scanned or photographed. This database is searchable to make it easier to find items. These files will continue be updated from time to time to include newly-gathered material. This database record is also now freely available via a digital memory stick which can be loaned from the Recorders (with just a small returnable deposit) to anyone who wishes to review the records.
The recorders are also keen to secure more village records that villagers may have in their personal possession that the Recorders can copy for the archive and store for the benefit of the village.
If you would like to loan a memory stick, have any records that you think may be of interest or might like to join the Recorders please speak to any of the current members (Lyn Rodley, Malcolm and Judy Kimmance, Ann Bagley, Dave Burnand, Malcolm Hawksby, Gill Williams or Ian Law) or contact the group by email (fingringhoerecorders@gmail.com).
