Economy has some life left.

I was out doing the rounds, putting out our Autumn 'In Touch' today. It was interesting to note that despite the death of the property market that there are still quite a few for sale boards up, together with some that have sold. Good therefore to see not all of the economy has stopped (despite today's newspaper pointing out that we have again be overtaken by the French!).

But at TDC we are likely to have to tighten our belts in the new year, with prices going up income falling ( have a mentioned before the appalling 0.5% grant settlement we get from central government?), but hopefully one thing that might escape the cut is £14,000 that the Community Services Committee voted to the local Scouts last week to contribute to the rebuilding of their hut following its destruction a couple of years ago.
