Apologies for the error - its been amended.

£430k for 2 years of deskwork. Probably using existing staff and creative accounting.

I presume they will do, I imagine it would cause some consternation if the residents wanted to get directly involved....

looks in good nick already to me.

Not enough land as it is!

I don't think anyone has been buried there since the 80s. I remember the [now] large field being full of gravestones. They could still spend the money, and scatter the ashes in that

Looks like its futures in jeopardy
