Chairmans Report

The expenditure on the play-ground fencing at Moss Cottages allows the children to enjoy the facilities safely and is facilitating the use of the pitch by the school and council for training events throughout the year.

Administration costs includes the wages of our Clerk, Paula Poole, who has steadfastly administered our activities and to whom I would like to say a big thank you.

Social Centre assistance includes financial help with the replacement of a boiler and emergency roof repairs when the lead was stolen.

Grounds maintenanace includes grass cutting at various sites around the area and donations to the local people who carry out the work.

Parish plan costs were incurred in updating the document by means of the questionnaire sent out during the year.

The Council has embarked on the quest for Quality status and would welcome your comments through Councillors, the Clerk , the website or coming to our meetings - dates are on notice boards or go to our Meetings page.

Thenk you for your support.
