Reported Criminal Offences in Dyserth:

The following criminal offences have been reported to the North Wales Police; that have occurred within the Community Council area:

2 x Anti social behaviour / 2 x Criminal damage / 2 x Other crime / 8 x Violence offences

Precept:

The Community Council current precept for a Band D property in Dyserth is £41.24 a year this generates an income to the Council of £48,500.00. The Council have agreed not to increase the precept for the new financial year – 1st April 2023 to 31st March 2024. However, due to the decrease in the number of properties moving out of Band D, to maintain the aforementioned precept balance, there will be an increase in the actual community charge to each Band D household of around 68p a year.
