2522  CHAIRMAN’S REPORT-2004

The Parish Council has met every 6 weeks during the year. In September our long serving Parish Clerk, Mrs. Pat Barnes, retired and we are very please to welcome Mrs. Daphne Wyatt who kindly agreed to take her place, a Contract of Employment has been agreed.d was paid towards play equipment at Margaret Harker Hall.

There was a suggestion that Broadland would cease rehire to our car park at the King’s Head, but a new parking policy was drawn up and this will remain for the foreseeable future. A budget for the year was drawn up, we have no foreseeable major expenses in 2004/5.
