What a pity they are not published how they used to be when you could scrutinise to your hearts content in the library, now from what I've seen so far you don't even get them on the notice boards.
Money being spent on welcome to the village signs, what for, the ones we have are perfectly alright. What are they going to do, tack them on or put them separately? At least the wall money has been paid.
Then there is the little item on stuff for future meetings:
Victoria Institute- consider purchase by Parish Council
How barmy can you get. It's been decided we have no use for it and they still want to put their necks in the noose and considering most of them are friends of the VI, I do hope they will declare an interest. Then there is the other little nugget:
It was noted that the Trustees have now
successfully obtained the residents’ support for a sale of the Victoria
Institute having addressed and taken all steps to look into the restoration of
the building. It was noted to be an example of how to successfully engage with
the public on such matters.
What a laugh, more like an exercise in how to waste money trying to achieve the answer you want regardless of how much it was going to cost. So now they are going, well trying, to buy by the back door. Will we have a public meeting for that, I don't think so. Mind you, I did warn you, persistent buggers. Might be a bit of a conflict of interest all round when it comes to the price. If they don't get the library sewn up you can see where their sights will fall next. Good to see it's not their own money they are contemplating spending.
Bit ironic really, they are starting to think of that little cash pot as their own private piggy bank and the only reason they (or should I say we) have the cash is because of the expertise of the ex clerk, David Wright, he who got regular stick from certain quarters, and who are now in office. Without that cash they wouldn't have a pot to pee in. All fur coat and no knickers springs to mind.
