Cllr P Hughes proposed that they do not elect a Vice Chair until any complaints were resolved.

It was therefore RESOLVED that Cllr D Morison was elected as Vice Chair of Fulbeck Parish Council.
Cllr G Greenhalgh left the meeting at 7.58 p.m. due to personal reasons.
3. To consider and approve the budget for the precept demand for the financial year 2022/2023
During the discussion of the precept it was proposed to purchase a new laptop for the Parish Council for approximately £400-£500. This will come out of the surplus money that the Parish Council hold.
The £3294 left will be assigned to the Playing Field Reserve for replacement of playground equipment bringing the playing field reserve to £3480.90.
This was proposed by Cllr P Hughes, seconded by Cllr A Sampson and therefore RESOLVED.
After further discussion it was proposed by Cllr A Sampson that the precept is kept to the same sum as the last financial year (2021/2022). This was seconded by Cllr P Hughes and agreed unanimously. It was therefore RESOLVED that the precept for 2022/2023 would be set at £8,774.
The Chair closed the meeting at 8.43 p.m.
