A Public Meeting was held in the Memorial Hall on Tuesday November 29^th 2011, to discuss:-

1 How Hinstock is going to Celebrate H.M.the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in June 2012

2 Whether the Parish Council should take out a loan of £67,500.00 to build an extension on the Memorial Hall, which will increase the rates of Parishioners.

                     Decisions made:-

1- Several Parishioners volunteered to form a Steering Group to organise events.

2- Plans were viewed, and various options were discussed, and a vote was taken on whether to borrow 67500.00 over a 20 year period, which will increase the rates of band D rate payers by approximately 11 pounds a year.  Any money returned to the project from the contingency fund/VAT will be taken off the loan.

17 people voted for, and 3 people voted against, making 85% for going ahead.

The meeting was advertised in the local paper, large banners and on this website. Over 190 hits were received on the website page advertising the meeting.  

Thank you to all who attended and viewed the website.
