Another Conservative pledge goes unfulfilled

At the 2011 Town Council elections the Conservatives said the following about the Eatons Community Centre:
The Conservatives pledged to:
1) Reduce the annual deficit.
2) Market and Promote the Centre.
3) Increase its annual income.

With the annual accounts just published (below) how have the Conservatives done with the 3 parts of this pledge?
1) Reduce the annual deficit. 
According to the Conservatives the annual deficit increased from £36,815 to £60,305. In their first year in power the annual INCREASED rather than reduced. So far the Conservatives have got this wrong and they will need to find extra income over expenses of £25,000 to achieve this part of the pledge.
2) Market and Promote the Centre.

They seem to be doing this more. But it the product is defective then no matter how much marketing and promotion happens they will not make this a going concern.

3) Increase its annual income.

This has gone into reverse. The annual income has dropped by over £13,000. 

This is the first year the Conservatives are in control. If the Conservatives have a chance of fulfilling by the end of their term the Eatons Centre will need a dramatic turnaround in fortunes.
