7 Any
Other Business
Moving
Parish meetings to web based for 2021 until Covid 19 is under control
–
Delay
a firm decision until the tier situation is known in 2021. Not
against going virtual, but feel that this could exclude the parish
attending if not able or have connection to the internet, but the
same can be said for meeting in person as this excludes the parish
from attending due the maximum of 6 people in tier 2.
New
laptop for clerk due to slowness and storage issues – Yes, spend
approved.
