need to be a charge to use the equipment.

• Option 1Parish Councils can pay in advance for the service on a peryear basis. This would cost £41 per parish area / per year. All parish area’s would need to commit to this undertaking.

• Option 2Parish Council’s can spot purchase the equipment on request - the set up cost would be £465 for each new location plus £40 per month after the first months installation.
