THE Town Council has saved almost £19,000 by cutting back on paper, printing and postage costs by emailing agendas and other paperwork.

As a result of the changes the town clerk’s assistant has been able to cut her hours from 30 hours a week to just under half that, thanks to the time saved in printing and collating agendas and minutes.

In total the council has saved £2,089 in postage costs, £2,673 on paper and printing and £13,897 on reduced staff costs.
