The clerk will report back on this at future meetings. The Parish Council Remembrance booklet was also discussed to see if a new updated reprint was required.It is now several years olf and there is a need to change the wording of the National Anthem and we could also take the opportunity to look at the hymns and service content?The clerk will put all of the items on the agenda early in the new year to ensure that everything is in place for the service in 2023.

The Chair then read out a letter from the South Yorkshire Police Crime Commissioner which has launched a consultation to seek view on policing priorities and willingness to contribute more through the council tax portion that is paid for policing and crime services.The Commissioner is looking for the public to advise priorities and any potential areas for savings. The consulation will aso ask if residents are willing to pay a small ammount more in council tax to maintain policing and crime services.These police budget for the current year (2022/23) is around £310m. This is made up of a government allocation of funding (74%) plus money that is raised from council tax precept(26%)/Due to levles of inflation the PCC will need to raise more money next year to simply continue with the same level of service.
