Sources of Income

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.
