Burnham: How shall we spend our £25k?

2:00pm Thursday 9th August 2012 in News By Emma Robinson

Burnham residents have the chance to decide on how to spend £25,000 of their own money in the town - on a specialist road sweeping machine or a new music and performing arts academy.

Burnham Town Council requested an extra £25,0000 from tax payers last year to pay for special projects in the town but have yet to decide how to spend it.

Town councillors have brought up the idea of a specialist sweeping machine that could clean up dog poo efficiently and hygienically after residents complained about the town’s dirty streets.

The machine would cost in the region of £15,000 but will incur long-term running costs.
