20/21/3 Defibrillator Circuit
It was agreed to have LIVES take over Guardianship of the Defibrillators at Ashby and Bloxholm. Clerk to contact LIVES.
20/21/3 Budget for 21/22
The Clerk presented the proposed Budget based on previous years' expenses and applications for grants received.
The majority of Councillors agreed to give a grant of £100 to CAB and LIVES - R Walker felt that as we were taking out a contract with LIVES for the defibrillator circuit they would receive a profit from this.
Ashby Village Hall had applied for a grant of £2,000 and the majority agreed this - R Walker did not agree. With these amounts taken into account the precept would be very similar to the current year. Clerk to adjust budget for approval at the next meeting in January 2021.
It was noted that the current year's budget includes £120 for rent and it was suggested that this should be paid to the Village Hall to help with the pandemic situation. The majority of councillors agreed with the exception of R Walker.
20/22 Revised Standing Orders
It was proposed that the Clerk would update the current standing orders and circulate to councillors for discussion at next meeting.
20/23 Date of next meeting
A meeting will be arranged in January 2021 Covid 19 restrictions taken into account.
