That has been exceeded because of items not included in the last budget last year:-Computer and programs1,670Moles2.000Honoraria600Burial Ground seat900Administration600Removing broken tree330Notice boards1.800Total7,900No progress has been made towards the new pavilion, it must be said not due to the inactions of the Council, and no provision is recommended in the budget for this.The only recommendation that can be made here is that the precept should remain at the present amount £49,815 perhaps increased by inflation in prices of, say 3%, to £51,350. Members could consider whether an addition should be made towards restoring the deposit account.L.M. GarnerClerk3 January 2008
