The Pavilion – terms of use would be drawn up for users of the pavilion.

The Recreation Area of the Common – some dog walkers were still using the Common anti-socially. Dog excrement was a great problem and signs will be erected to draw the attention of dog walkers to the hazards.

Annual audit completed – with a number of recommendations including a full job description for the Parish Clerk.

Precept – Councillors agreed to a 5% rise as there were so many different plans for expenditure, eg, clerk’s wages, implementation of government rulings regarding training for Councillors.
