QUEENSFERRY COMMUNITY COUNCIL
BUDGET FORECAST 2023/ 2024
Please note these are Suggestions only based partly upon Historical Data & Council Discussions
In relation to Insurance Premium I suggest to remain with B. H. I. B. as less costly insurance does not
offer the same cover.
The Final Decisions rest with the full Council.
Note: Government recommendation is that almost the Annual Precept should be kept for
unforeseeable contingencies.
