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.

Box No. 1. Balances brought forward

Figure in 2019 column         £9130

Figure in 2018 column         £9149
