6. Mayor’s Car

AS stated that after 4 years KIA will no longer be able to lend us a vehicle.  He said that we have had 4 good years and are very grateful to them.  AS said that he is sending a    letter of thanks to KIA and will also make a press statement of thanks to them.  RW    suggested that we set up a small working group so that they can put their heads  together to come up with a solution for getting a new vehicle.  The working group will be AS, DW, RW and JS.  HW asked how many miles we do a year and AS said that it was  around 4,000 to 5,000 miles.  RW asked what we are doing in the meantime.  JS said that we could share a vehicle.  RW agreed with this.  GJ said that this was               sensible and asked when we would be getting a new vehicle.  AS said hopefully we  will get this sorted over the next week.  RW asked what the Reserve Amount is at present and AS said it is around £15,000.
