Unfortutjately. a few w¢¢ks Iat¢r. there was a failure of one of the new hot wat¢r joints that caused extensive water and steam damage throughout the village hail. The most signifi¢ant of these is pennanent damage to the main hall flIMir and also the walls and ¢¢ilin This is now ihe SUbjt of a major insurance claim, with our insurers recovering the cost of th¢ works from the Heating Contractorltheir insurer. We have appointed Morgan Clark Loss AssessoTS lo act on Im Eehalf. Major strip i)ut and restoration work5 will be undertaken by $tIaliSt contraciors. Works will commence early 2026 and the total duration of the Work are likely to be between 4 and 6 Months. The village hall will be out of se forth¢ duration of these works. All hirers (in¢luding the school) h2v¢ been mmunicated wÉth so that they can make alternate arramgements. Financial Review In 2025 there was a reduciion in tota] receiFts of 5V• whith w&8 driven by a drq) in rentsl income excluding the of IP/r* compared to 2024. In temis of payments in 2025 th¢re was a significant spend of £15,540 on a new heattng system. Significant savings were made on utility bills with fixell contracts for el¢ctricity and gas. Water costs increased in 2025 as result of 2 incides.. a tsp left running and a flood folknving installatith of a new heIti8 system (this will be vered by Insur). N¢. In 2024 there was a'one off, exid1e for new faKirÉ8 of £4.150. In 2025 headline payments exceeded receÉpts by £5J14. However, there is still a total balance of £73211 held in th¢ current and building lety accourt There will be a significant loss of income in the first half of 2026 as the hall wtll be closed for repaiT5 following th¢ flood in August 2025. It is expected the loss of tncome will b¢ ver&I by Insurance. Anne Dewsnip Chair of Tte¢S
