Notes:
| 1. |
|
Income Grant of £2,000.00 was given by
Cotswold District Council to help towards the cost of installing
interactive speed signs at three entrances to the village. |
| 2. |
(a) |
£4,707.10 had been collected by the
Parish Council from residents who wished to contribute to the repair
of the War Memorial which had been vandalised. |
| |
(b) |
£1,000 prize money award from
Gloucestershire Rural Community Council for winning the Calor Gas
Village of the Year competition. |
| |
(c) |
£1,000 donation from the South Cerney
Trust in recognition of recent awards. |
| |
(d) |
£90 from Ms Helen Dorling, South Cerney
Riding Stables towards youth activities. |
| 3. |
|
The Parish Council accepted the new
salary award agreed nationally between NALC (National Association of
Local Councils) and SLCC (Society of Local Council Clerks). |
| 4. |
|
Parish Councillors are now allowed to
claim allowances under new legislation. The Parish Council voted to
abide by the allowances determined by the Cotswold District Council.
Of those entitled to claim, one Parish Councillor decided to do so. |
| 5. |
|
Village Maintenance which includes grass
cutting, litter picking and keeping the bus shelter clean and tidy
cost £11,908.24 in 2004. The increase of £2,016.64 which is
approximately 16.95% can be justified through the awards gained by the
village for winning the Calor Gas Village of the Year award and the
Bledisloe Plate during this accounting period. |
| 6. |
|
£11,303.25 was paid to Fenland Leisure
Products for the replacement of safety surfaces which were considered
inadequate. |
| 7. |
|
It was necessary to rebuild the War
Memorial after an attack by vandals. Through the generosity of
residents who donated £4,707.10 (plus £47.52 bank interest) a profit
of £785.23 was earmarked for future repair work of other ancient
monuments for which the Parish Council is responsible. |
| 8. |
|
Annual Return The difference between box
7 and box 8 is the amount of £4,710 being the VAT repayment due. |
