18/176 BUILDING & AMENITY PRIORITIES – KT Electrical quotes for floodlights.

The 2 quotes were reviewed – 1 to repair the existing flood lights at £215.36 plus VAT and STORM £185.62 plus VAT, plus the optional work of adding new lights to single gate. KT Electrical £64.30 plus VAT and STORM £122.42 plus VAT, with £15 discount if both jobs done together. Due to KT Electricals knowledge of this system it was proposed their quote be accepted.

As the PC must spend funds to benefit the Parish, it was discussed that the extra lighting for the TC single gate would not benefit a large enough percentage of the community. It was therefore proposed to not accept this quote but pass the info to the TC so they could act on the quotes if they wished.

The KT quote only for the repairs to the existing lights was proposed for approval by Cllr Walton, seconded by Cllr Bates and all Cllrs were in favour.

The Clerk to investigate costs for this.
