Oxfordshire's Harwell Parish Council approved a £9.31 yearly tax hike for band D homes to fund a groundskeeping apprenticeship.
Harwell Parish Council in Oxfordshire approved a 10% rise in the parish precept for 2026/27, increasing annual council tax by £9.31 for a band D household—about £0.78 monthly.
The funds will create a half-time apprenticeship in grounds maintenance to improve long-term service sustainability.
The increase applies across all bands and is not linked to inefficiency.
Recruitment is expected in late spring or early summer.
The precept covers daily operations like park upkeep, while major projects are funded separately through developer contributions.
