Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the parish operated at a deficit of £19,886 in 2025, driven by a 23% fall in total income and rising costs. To manage cash flow, the PCC sold £10,000 of investments during the year and transferred funds from the General Purposes Legacies Fund to cover the shortfall. The Treasurer's report notes that normal activities do not provide sufficient income to cover expenditure, highlighting reliance on rental income and pending significant repair costs.
