The Finance Committee met in early December to draw up the budget for the next financial year. Additional spending would be needed to fund a new street lamp in Mudgley Road, the purchase of a Speed Indicator Device and alterations to the Council Rooms, to include upgrading the heating and creation of a disabled access and parking space. The budget was agreed by the full Council at its December meeting with no increase in the parish precept.

By the time you read this magazine, work should have started on the Cross Farm development. Part of the development will be a recreational area for all ages and Cllr. Polly Costello has been in discussions with the developer to ensure the play equipment will be of good quality. It has been agreed that when the recreation area is complete, the management will be handed to the Parish Council so that it will be available for all villagers to enjoy.

The Lamplight celebrations this year was favoured with good weather and a high attendance. The Parish Council were pleased to make a grant towards the street entertainers and to provide Christmas trees to churches and local businesses
