With the scheduling of meetings around the election and the recent Annual Parish meeting, we called an extraordinary meeting to progress some urgent matters that required action prior to the next ordinary meeting 27th June. Consequently, the summary of items discussed is relatively short.
The County and District Councillors were not in attendance for this meeting.
Finance and budget: The financial statement was adopted, and the schedule of payment was approved.
