Cuts in cash to BJ Parish Council

A recent statement by the BJPC goes as follows

Our capital aid grant of £4929 has been lost completely, (WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ? - WHAT IS THIS REALLY FOR ?)

together with a further £4071 from the revenue grant (13.8% of total). ( WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? - WHAT IS THIS REALLY FOR ?)

GBC funding accounts for about 30% percent of our income and is applied for by BJPC to cover shortfall in income to expenditure for key services. ( WHAT ARE THESE KEY SERVICES ?)

The BJPC needs to review how this decision will affect us. ( YOU BET !!)

Preliminary indications show that increases in revenue from the Sports Ground and Cemetery fees will help soften the blow. ( OH YES! AND DOES THE INCOME FROM THE POPLARS ACTUALLY MEET FULLY ITS TOTAL OUT GOINGS ? - ALSO IT APPEARS A GOOD JOB THAT OUR FAITHFUL RESIDENTS KEEP "PASSING AWAY" - FOR THIS OBVIOUSLY ASSISTS THE BJPC AND IS A VITAL TO BALANCING THE BOOKS)

However additional items such as taking over the Public Toilets at the Recreation ground or assisting in more litter picking or verge cutting are clearly under pressure ( OH DEAR! SUCH A PROBLEM IN THE BIG PICTURE)
