![]() ![]() ![]() Note previous Auditors have asked
us to point out that we receive separate precepts
for Ingestre (£2000) and Tixall (£2000) Item 2,
although we have joint accounts. Previous Auditors have also
commented on our high reserves.
As a Councillor, I am an unpaid Clerk. We
have therefore set aside a reserve of £2500 to pay
for a Clerk, including National Insurance and
Pension contributions when this becomes necessary in
the future. In addition it is likely to be necessary
to pay for a Laptop and website editing program for
the Clerk which are currently provided free by me.
We also have an election reserve to spread
the cost of elections over several years, this is
currently £1200 with Parish Council elections this
May. We have been told that contested elections are
likely to cost at least £1000 in each parish.
We have also decided that rather than
purchase a mower for the Home Farm Land, with
associated labour, insurance and maintenance costs,
we would use the residue of the Home Farm Land
moneys to pay for a man to mow the grass. Last year
he mowed 3 times at a total cost of £350. Variances: Box
