Letters from Catastral Office & Burglaries

 The Town Hall staff have the onerous task of trying to hand deliver letters from the Catastral Office to almost every house.

These letters are required by law, to be delivered to all home owners, every few years and they are notifications of the current assessed value of properties and their land for the calculation of IBI ( equivalent of council tax). These letters detail whether the assessable value has increased or decreased. In most cases this year it is a decrease but some will increase particularly if the occupant has carried out improvements. I am informed that the Catastral office use drones nowadays to monitor properties and use the information to amend valuations!

This task is having an adverse effect on the rest of the work in the Town Hall as it is such a labour intensive task. 

My apologies for any delays to front office actions as a result. The staff are trying to get the work done asap. 

With the advent of darker evenings we are seeing an increase in burglaries. If you are a member of Neighbourhood Watch you will be aware of this. If not best join! and are doing the AGM at Heathers on Wednesday 2nd November at 3.0pm.
