26 Allotment Refunds – earmarked funds.  None of the allotments that have been given up have been left in an acceptable state by the tenants and therefore refundable deposits taken at the time of the agreements have not been returned, the monies being utilised to keep the plots cut back until new tenants are found.

The figure for earmarked funds in respect of allotment deposits has therefore been reduced to £90 and this needs to be agreed and minuted  This represents three half plots and one full plot.
The Pensions Regulator – requirement to comply with new pension regulations regarding legal duties to all employed staff.  Confirmation of declaration.
