            MATTERS ARISING

 

• Parish Council Notice Boards – The owners of the Service Station were happy for the Parish Council to erect a Notice Board on their site.  Councillor D Antrobus would organise the work.

 

• Transparency Fund – Councillor Helm had attended a Seminar about this matter and had found it very enlightening.  With regards to the Web Site provider she had contacted (on recommendation) Tangled Web Solutions as she was getting no response from Vision ICT.  Costs etc would be the same.  It was hoped to have the Website live by the end of October.  A printer and scanner had been purchased and a payment of £479.74 was passed.
