Cllr Amos declared an interest in the photocopier.
A draft copy of the minutes had been circulated to all councillors for their perusal and amendment if required.
Actions have been finalised, with a new 3-year contract signed for Gas and Electricity.
The new photocopier is now delivered and set up. Cllr Amos expressed an interest in purchasing the old photocopier. The new company did not want the old machine and we have been offered £150 scrap.
This was proposed by Cllr McGrath and seconded by Cllr Kelly, to sell the machine to Cllr Amos for £150.01.
Minutes were agreed as a true record. Proposed by Cllr Kelly and Seconded by Cllr Faulkner
The RFO had prepared and circulated a Forecast Budget for 23/24 showing the variances between the budget and what the forecast figures are.

The Precept was proposed by Cllr Faulkner and seconded by Cllr Kelly and agreed to be passed to the Town Council meeting on Wednesday 29th November, for approval.
After the ROSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) report had been passed to Playdale they had produced a quotation for repairs.
