After
the Christmas recess, Councillors met on the 10th January 2012
for their first meeting of the New Year with a full agenda to discuss. FINANCE
-January is when the precept is agreed for the financial year 2012/13.
After lengthy discussions Councillors agreed that in the current economic
climate there should be no increase, and the amount would remain at £7262
the same as 2011/12. The Clerk
anticipated that approx. £5000 would be carried forward into the next
financial year as savings made by Councillors undertaking some of the
village maintenance have helped to keep costs down and the accounts
looking healthy. PLANNING -Many planning
applications have been dealt with over the year some with no objection,
others needing detailed investigation before sending comments to the
planning department. PLAY AREA - Plans for
improvements to some of the play equipment in the playground are
progressing slowly. Consultations with local children via the School
Council have been made, some of their ideas were excellent, others very
imaginative and slightly ambitious! DOG
FOULING is again rearing its ugly head.
There are numerous dog bins around the village.
PLEASE USE THEM. The
dog warden has been contacted, and offenders should be aware that it is a
fineable offence if caught allowing dogs to foul public areas.
