"SECTION 137 EXPENDITURE": LIMIT FOR 2010-11

Published 16th November 2009

This is to notify you that the appropriate sum for the purposes of section 137(4)(a) of the Local Government Act 1972 (the 1972 Act) for parish and town councils in England for 2010-11 is £6.15.

You will notice that the figure has not changed from last year. Normally the annual cash limit would be raised by the percentage increase in the Retail Price Index (RPI) but it was negative this September. This would lead to a reduction in the cash limit but as that is not permitted by the legislation (paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 12B to the 1972 Act), the figure remains at £6.15, as per the limit for 2009-10.
