The Financials menu is getting a makeover.
Over the next week or two, we will be restructuring the Financials menu to make it much simpler to navigate.
We will organise the menu into Financial Years, with the current financial year at the top of the list.
Behind the scenes, some of the reports have been modified to simplify their usage and make them easier to interpret and maintain. Each will be supported by an explanatory note.
So keep an eye out over the next week or so and let us know what you think.
The reports that will be available are as follows…
We’ve been busy behind the scenes updating the community website – aspc.org.uk. For those who haven’t seen it before (where were you?), it’s got a new look and new features for you to explore.
You can search, you can subscribe, you can go directly to related and useful websites and you can click Like on our news items and pages. You can share to social media and you can browse the Events Calendar.
If you have any comments (good or bad) or think something is wrong or missing, then use the Contact Us page on the website and tell us what’s on your mind. This will be handled in strict confidence and you’ll be contacted by someone from the Parish Council or our webmaster.
We may need to do some tweaking over the coming days and weeks but in the meantime, have a good look around and let us know what you think of the new look.
Note that the photo galleries are empty at the moment – but we’re working on that as well!

Not strictly Parish Council Business… but we thought this was worthy of posting here.
A rather dull day weather-wise for the tree planting to commemorate our former Chairman, Alistair Forbes, 10 years of service to the Parish Council, but at least the rain stayed away.
A very dapper Alistair arrived to oversee the proceedings, the hole was dug, the tree planted and Alistair put in the first shovel of soil, job done! The event was attended by All Saints Parish councillors and residents, along with a few doggie friends, who wanted to help with the digging. Then it was back to the Pavilion for hot drinks, biscuits and some socialising.

Cllr Gary Hall (Chairman), thanked Alistair for his long service and presented him with a bottle of whisky and a bunch of flowers for his wife Mary. We look forward to seeing the two trees we have planted, a Silver Birch and a Mountain Ash (Rowan), thrive and provide enjoyment for all the residents of All Saints Parish.
Commemorative plaques will be added in due course.
Tree Planting – 16th March 11.30am at the Cricket Field
As you may be aware, our Chair of ten years, Alistair Forbes, stepped down at the end of 2023. We would like to recognise his commitment and service to both the Parish Council and the parishioners by planting a tree in the Cricket Field.
We will be doing this, with him in attendance, on Saturday March 16th March at 11.30am.
We’d love to see as many of you there as possible.
