Parish Council Update - July

This month Parish Council met on the 17th July.
There was a full agenda and this update is just to keep you in the loop around what Parish Council are doing.

Building:
We started the meeting with a hearty discussion around what the next steps in our Building Conversation look like. We have produced a report around all the answers from our Building Conversation #2. This will come out with a survey to complete so we can really get everyone's opinion on what should or shouldn't be done.

Finance:
We spent some considerable time looking at our finances. Which are looking reasonably healthy. Our giving is down on our expected budget by $3,104 but out expenses are also down by $16,199 on our expected budget. We are not sure yet whether these savings are long term but it is a reassuring place to be in the short-term. 
As part of finances we are pleased to announce that Joshua Butterfield is going to be helping John Little out as Assistant Treasurer. We also have accepted a quote to put some ground cover under the vicarage.

Other Business:
On other things we handled over the night: we are still awaiting the right person for our Children's worker role and we are seeking a quote to help us ensure that the stained glass windows are protected.

If you have any questions please feel free to talk to one of our Parish Council members and they can update you further.
