The present resetves arnount to
£13,800 towards the potsnrial cost of Cyclical Repairs
£73,600 for posslble major Long Temi repalrs
which have been based on historic dculations at 18% and 25% respettNety of r￿Idents potentrdl contiibutions.
and measured against relatlve costs over past filteen years.
The Long Temi need of a possible roof replacement of our Grade 2 Ilsted pr￿errI. has been a malor considerau
f¢x rhe retsntion of almosc all surpluses from the elght almshouses over recent history
In reviewlng our posslble future repwr ¢o$ts. these rates may be adjusted to try to cover antiopatd fijiure
osts. but sublecr to a short term adju5¢mènts should trurtees deem this to be necessary.
