£30 outstanding for shelter

That the Parish Council should form themselves into a skiffle group or should have their photographs taken for sale to summer visitors were two light hearted suggestions made at Monday’s meeting of Clovelly Parish Council during a long discussion on ways and means of meeting the outstanding balance of just over £40 on the Turnpike bus shelter.
The money is owed to two members of the Council – Mr J C Hilton an account for £52 0s 7d for supplying materials and to Mr J Cruse who, in his capacity as treasurer, paid a balance of £8 7s 5d owing to the builder out of his own pocket.
The Chairman told the Council he would make a gift of £10 from the money owing to him and would buy a pig to be given in prizes for pork whist drives if the Council members would like to run such events.
