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.
