Reserves pfjllcy The Tn￿eS acknowledge that our current reserve is based on ¢ll￿eTht expenditure levels, the amount held shall be no more than £50k & is set at 12months costs. The reason for the higher amouni reserve is that hiring of an area witbin the buildJog$ & Car park facilities generate approximately IOOO/o of our annual incorne & if ixith arew were unabl¢ to Jneet the mollthly in¢ome our amiual income would reduce significantly.
