Courtesy of our Parish Clerk, I have received a bundle of papers to read, inwardly digest, and then pass on to my colleagues. It's amazing just how much of it there is, and indeed, how interesting it is. Amongst the latest bundle was an advertisement for bits of 'street furniture', including dog waste bins.
As a keen observer of our finances (it's your money, after all), I was astonished to find that a dog waste bin costs £245 plus VAT (£287.88 in total). Given that Creeting St Peter has three, one at each entrance to the village, that would equate to about 22% of our annual budget were we to have to replace them. I dread to think how much it would cost to replace the street lights...
