The Parish Precept is the money collected by DMBC on behalf of the Council and used for the benefit of the residents of Auckley. 2024/25 will see a 5.97% increase in the Precept, equating to £30.78 for a Band D property. The Precept for 2024/25 is £51,500.

New Defibrillator within the Parish- Eagle & Child Pub

Defibrillators are valuable resources which help to save lives. There are now four located around the parish: at Riverside Park, Hayfield Park, Auckley School and the new addition at the Eagle & Child pub.
Auckley Parish Council would like to see more located around the Parish and are hopeful that a further defibrillator will be soon placed outside New College on Hurst Lane.

Hayfield Park Play Area Consultation

Auckley Parish Council wish to engage with Auckley residents regarding s106 funding. The Parish Council would like to gather opinions and suggestions of residents for potential improvements to the play area on Hayfield Park. The Parish Council is proposing to provide additional play equipment with accessibility for all. We are proposing a 4 seat swing set with flat swings, cradle swing (babies/toddlers) and an accessible swing (for people with disabilities). We are also proposing a roundabout with ‘ride on’ space for a wheelchair and a see-saw.
