Larger Parish Councils Some parts of the Borough are served by a Parish as well as the Borough Council. If you live in one of these areas (Billing, , , Great Houghton, , Upton, Wootton and , Hunsbury Meadows, ), you will receive an extra charge in your Council Tax bill; this relates to the Parish Precept and special expenses. Hunsbury Meadows and West Hunsbury are new Parishes and therefore don't have previous year comparators. Shown below are the Precepts of the larger Parish Councils in the Borough. Precepts are what we collect on behalf of Parish Councils through your Council Tax.
