HLF Community Project Report was given by Vivien Byrne. Apologies had been received from all the people who had complained erroneously about the Heritage Sculpture and The Clerk had written an article for The Chronicle to print expressing the paper’s apologies, as requested by The Editor. The website was now online as Llanymynech.org.uk and the brochure would be published in February, there had been a delay with the second grant payment due to a mix up at HLF, but this was now resolved. HLF had agreed to extend the Project to the 1^st April as requested. The social history archive was progressing and a banner would be produced using the photographs taken plus a DVD. Spending was in line with the budget, but the amount of hours worked on the Project had been far in excess of that estimated.

It was agreed to form a Borough wide Play Partnership and to attract additional funding. The meeting was then opened to allow discussion with members of the public present.

The Clerk tabled a paper with recommendations such as moving £1,000 from the Elections Reserve to the Play Equipment Reserve and a precept of £12,800 would be sufficient. It was proposed and seconded with all in favour and therefore RESOLVED that £1,000 be moved from Election Reserve to Play Equipment Reserve and that a Precept of £12,800 be made for the year 2006/07.

06/10 DONATIONS The Clerk read a letter from Oswestry Womens Aid which was an addition to the 4 requests already received, also the Council normally supported The Samaritans (who do not send annual requests for funding).

She reported that the County Council had been shortlisted for Council of the Year and had been awarded stars for many of it’s services, it is a high performing Council, so residents should see improvements in services.

The Budget will be set at the end of February. It had been announced that David Milliband will be visiting the county to hear views on setting up an ‘all purpose structure’ (not Unitary). The Government is studying Unitary structures for metropolitan areas, but have decided to look at rural areas and chosen Shropshire as a study for a different model. The meeting will be by invitation and the PC’s will be represented by SALC. The Borough Council Budget had been out to consultation and the sale of the Council housing stock is still under discussion. The Planning Team will be visiting Pant M. I. with the LDF consultation on the 28^th February. Cllr Mrs. Gaskill thanked Cllr Mrs. Crosier and her volunteers for their work on the Parish Plan.
