The above amendments have been made due to the following:

 

The two cheques to John Williamson have had to be changed as the NatWest bank has decided that they no longer accept cheques made out to Williamson Engineering, though they have in the past.

 

I made the cheque to Bell Brush out to the company but Cllr Abram had paid them to ensure speedy delivery of the litter pickers, therefore cheque re-issued.
