Health and Safety and Security

 The Clerk reported to Council following her investigations into mobile phones. The Council felt that as this is a health and safety issue the purchase of mobiles phones should go ahead. A contract would be entered into with T-mobile rather than pay as you go. Six phones would be purchased. The staff are responsible for keeping their phones charge and in their possession whilst at work. A penalty of £20 would be charged should a member of staff loose their phone. Proposed Cllr Cork seconded Cllr Youles carried.
