  Parish councils
  
  
  Wonder if some of you experts can help me out?
  
  I have started monitoring the spending habits of my parish council.
  I think they tend to be a bit free and easy with handing out cash, grants and stuff.
  
  Not that I have a problem with supporting good community stuff that promotes community.
  
  Anyway, the council publish an accounts page in my local posting display box outside the local shops.
  
  I see an entry for over £ 2000 tools, but no explanation of what exactly?
  
  I attended a council meeting and was told it was for cutting equipment for trees trimming?? a bit much for that, I thought.??
  
  
  So I,,E/ Mailed the clerk for an itemised list of the equipment and copies of the bills of sales.
  
  This was over 4 months ago now, and nothing ..not even given me answers to my other questions I sent them.
  
  I did receive an Acknowledgement of them getting my letter.
  
  Is there a higher appeal body? whats the rules on spending?
  it looks a bit strange that a council can just blow over 2K and just say Tools? if I did this to my accountant he would just send it back to me.
