The meetings from that time onward were by Zoom Meetings over the Internet, as and when we had a big issue to discuss. NEW TRUSTEES During 2020 we welcomed Harold Clarke (PCC) onto the Trustees NEW LOCAL AUThORITY PATNERS The Parish Church PCC have taken over now from Milborne Port Parish Council, as our Local Authority Partner during 2020 and this is working well. This change was agreed by the Charity Commissioners GENERAL HOUSING STOCK During 2020 we have undertaken many repairs, large and small, and as and when they were needed to our Housing Stock, along with Electrical checks when required and the Annual Gas Servicin8/Safety Checks. SANSOMES HILLCo￿AGE Sansomes Hill Cottage had a few alterations made, and is now for Sale (More on this in 2021 report) NO 2 HIGH sfREET VACANT During the year this House became vacant, and the Property Committee visited and agreed changes that had to be made. Quotes for the works were received in December, and a builder chosen to do this work. NEW PROPERTIES Details of possible properties to purchase were received, and Members of the Property Committee were visiting them in early (Jan 2021) PUBUCTOILErs These are running smoothly with the Parish Council helping with the day today running costs, and this seems to be working well. During the Lockdown they have been closed for a short period. ANNUAL INSURANCE This was renewed negotiating the best price for our requirements. ELEcfRICAL/GAS CHECKS Gas checks are done on a yearly basis to all of our properties, and Elettrical checks done as well. New Fire Alarms were fitted to a number of our Properties. A number of repairs were done during the year, including new Gas Boilers where they were needed. WELFARE During 2020 we have managed to help quite a few people, who had troubles. perhaps with having to go long distance, to visit Husbands/Wives /Children in Hospital. Help was given to the Primary School to help some disadvantaged children whose parents could not afford to send them to go on an Educational trip to Bude. HOUSING RENTS During 2020 there were no increases in Rent for our Housing stock due to the Covid Pandemic, and some were out of work. All tenants written to saying if they were having problems, to contact Trust so a plan could be drawn up to help them. COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES During 2020 there was no increase to the Commercial Properties as Trustees wanted to help keep these services in the Village FIELDS No Increase to the rents to our two fields HONORARIUMS During 2020 this was increased by 5% for both the Secretary and Treasurer. FINANCE As you see from our balance sheet we are in a very sound position that allows us to keep our properties in good condition with alterations and repairs. And we are actively looking to buy two starter type homes. ALMSHOUSES These are kept in good order, and No l Higher Gunville had new Front Door fitted. 16 & 17 High Street have had the old Stone Sheds removed, and new wooden ones will be put in their place. Stair lift a stair lift was fitted to no 15 High Street,. this was purchased and not rented, as it is in an Almshouse. New Tennant Possible new Tenants were interviewed for one off our Almshouse in Higher Gunville. and it was later given to a Gentleman. MEETING NIGHTS NEWVENUE Meeting nights are now held in the Willage Hall, for Health and Safety reasons and this is working well. From the middle part of the year we have held Zoom Meetings, and these helped us carry on with our work safety, during the Covid Crisis. THANKS I would like to thank all the Trustees, the Secretary Helen and Treasurer Martin, for all their hard work and help during 2020. which had its challenges due to the Covid Crisis SIGNED Richard Duckworth Rlchard Duckworth (CHAIR) COMMONALTY CHARITY LANDS DATED 20th October 2021
