O'Toole, Laurence RevMrs Richardson writes as Chairman: St Bede's problem over bussing finance was discussed, and it was agreed that £2000 may be deducted from Sawston Parish Account. They have concern over how this problem arose - therefore more details would have been appreciated to indicate where responsibilty lies. Assurance required that this is a one off payment and not on-going. Want a school govenor to attend their meeting to explain toi them and the parish.
