Most of the expenditure went on staff salaries, running costs and refurbishment costs for community centres and the Police Community Support Officers.
The Council operates 5 community centres across the Parish and one recreation ground, and employs 8 staff. All are part-time.
Mrs Wakefield, the Parish Clerk, and Mrs Carter run the office. They do the Parish administration and take bookings for the centres.
Mr Dowd, Mr Littler, Mrs Spencer and Mr Waters act as caretakers and cleaners for the community centres.
Mr Wakefield takes care of maintenance of the centres and makes sure the recreation ground and play area is kept in a safe condition during the week, and Mr Chadburn helps with cleaning and checking the recreation ground at weekends.
All staff can be contacted through the office on 01925 712279
During the year the Parish Council said goodbye to 4 members of staff, and welcomed 2 new ones: Mrs Wright retired from the office in October, and Mrs Thomas also left at the same time. They were replaced by Mrs Carter. Mr J Waters left for a career in the army and was replaced by Mr Chadburn.
Mrs Higgins retired in April 2007 after 25 years sterling service to the Council. Well done Eunice.
The Council also had to spend more than £1500 on making good repairs to vandalism around their property. This does not include the cost of staff salaries to clean and check the recreation ground every morning, or to carry out repairs and remove grafitti.
