\nMr Blight read from document (A COPY TO BE ATTACHED- has been requested)<\/b>
\nMr Blight from Shopco asked to clarify some misconceptions regarding the handover of the shop. Shopco is a provident society regulated by the FSA and registered at Company house not a limited company. There are no directors. When it was understood that the previous shop owners wished to leave in Aug 2014. Mr Northfield and Mr Blight highlighted that they wanted to leave Shopco due to time restrictions as they had been running with no support. It was discussed in Autumn Parish Council meeting and agreed unanimously that the PC would take over the shop but when it came to legally taking it over no-one agreed to take on. Shareholders have been consulted and Shopco has been officially dissolved and will be transferred to the PC. Shareholders will receive refund once the PC has agreed this. There are sufficient funds for the winding up fees and bank audit required. No bank account will be transferred. Shop or costs to a shop have been discussed in NP therefore a firm decision needs to be made.
\nPost Office closures due to Udi resigning – the Post Office has been approached to facilitate the new owners taking over, there has been some shop figure confusion which has delayed things. New shop owners have been invited to interview. There is no salary and remuneration is on transaction basis. Post Office is aware of feelings to retain the post office.
\nPlanning have stated that they will not renew planning expires 2016.
\nPC to pull together a committee to run. Mr Northfield and Mr Blight officially give notice that their involvement will end in July 2015. Documentation current tenancy agreement, no land agreement as was rejected by Shopco solicitor. In 6 weeks Shopco will cease to exist with a formal dissolution of Shopco with 81% of the shareholders agreement. Communications regarding Shopco meetings were in SCAN, email and through shareholder doors.
\nShopco will submit form to FSA and Shopco will wind up. Money in the account covers the electrician and accountant any remaining funds will be donated to charity as Shopco sees fit.
\nTenancy agreement will be passed on for new agreement to be drawn up with simply change of details to maintain relationship with shop owners. Legal document to transfer the shop unit.
\nShop unit and its maintenance will sit with the PC<\/p>\n\n
