Notes:
 
1.   Interest paid on cash investments reflects the reduction in the bank rate.
2.   South Cerney Cricket Club and South Cerney Football Club pay for their portion of the premium.
3.   Residents or relatives of residents pay for memorial trees to be planted.
4.   £400 was received from Gloucestershire Rural Community Council which subsidised an event titled “Get Our Way” to encourage youngsters to become more active in village activities
5.   This is a procedural decrease. Subscriptions for Gloucestershire Association of Parish and Town Councils had been paid twice during the previous period.
6.   In accordance with the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003, and the recommendation of the independent remuneration panel of Cotswold District Council, five members of South Cerney with Cerney Wick Parish Council accepted the allowances for the period April 2010- March 2011
7.   Village maintenance expenses increased by 16.64%. Labour to organise a composting scheme cost £648 and the use of a shredder added a further £88 to that expense. Weather conditions necessitated an extra grass cut by the ground maintenance contractor at a cost of £1,345. In total these extras accounted for £2,081.
8.   The increase in the water bill is accounted for by new building work which was carried out by the Football Club that included the provision of new shower facilities. The playing surface of the tennis courts was relaid. Work had also been carried out on the cricket pavilion. Thames Water had for too long sent estimated bills and when the meter was eventually read there was a large difference between the actual and estimated account. It proved impossible to determine which club had been responsible.
9.   Further to the Parish Council’s committment to its youth and due to the withdrawal of the Gloucestershire County Council’s youth provision, under the auspices of the Village Plan the Parish Council continued its support of activities and the youth workers.
10.   This is an annual grant which subsidises the Village Directory and also provides a “free” page in the publication for the Parish Council to promulgate its news and views.
11.   A contribution of £700 was made to subsidise the installation of 25 metal kissing gates on public footpaths in the parish managed by the Cotswold Water Park Society Ltd. A grant of £200 was made from the Village Plan fund to the Cotswold Water Park Trust to help with the promotion of the Willow Pageant event.
