Council Tax 2020 public consultation
On 22nd November 2019, Ripley Town Council accepted the proposed three-year budget plan and proposed precept for 2020/ 2021. Please click here to view.
The planned budget will maintain current services and help replenish reserves following the spending of £206,000 on the new community facilities on Greenwich Park. We are pleased that many community groups are using this great facility, including our Ripley Youth Hub.
The proposed budget will see an increase in the annual precept for the Ripley Town Council element of Council Tax of 10p per week, based on an average Council Tax Band D property, from 1st April 2020. (Band D properties are used as an example of a typical average band of Council Tax).
We would like to know your thoughts on this proposed budget. Please let us have your comments by 3rd January 2020 by emailing them to townclerk@ripleytowncouncil.gov.uk or in writing to Ripley Town Council, 6, Grosvenor Road, Ripley, Derbyshire, DE5 3JF.

Free Advice Sessions for Ripley Residents, thanks to new Partnership
People living in Ripley will have free help and advice on hand with the launch of a new weekly Citizens Advice outreach service in the town. Ripley Library is the new home for the Monday morning service which is operated by Citizens Advice Derbyshire Districts and funded by Ripley Town Council.
The free, confidential, independent and impartial advice sessions are open to anyone who live in the Ripley area. Advisers can help with a broad range of issues, such as housing, employment, debt, benefits, health and social care concerns. The charity also provides specialist money advice and consumer rights support.
Last year Citizens Advice Derbyshire Districts helped more than 3,400 people in Amber Valley dealing with 18,500 problems. More than £4m was secured in benefits and grants that people were entitled to but not claiming. Advisers also helped residents tackle more than £2.8m of debt.
Councillor Steve Freeborn, Leader of Ripley Town Council said, 'This outreach service offering free and confidential advice to people in our Ripley community who are struggling is welcomed. Not only does it help individuals themselves at a time of need, but is also helps the local economy too. One aspect of the advice is to help people access the help and support they are entitled to, this puts money into local businesses and local people spend locally.'
Sessions run on Monday mornings from 9.30am - to book please call Ripley Library on 01629 532982.
