Resignation of a Councillor

The Parish Council is sorry to announce the resignation of Cllr Kirsty Barden on 24th October. Sadly Kirsty found recently that she was unable to dedicate the time and energy to the role that she wished to, with personal commitments and full time work keeping her busy.
Whilst she had only been on the Parish Council for a little over a year, she was nevertheless a valuable part of the team and will be missed. We wish her well going forward.
We therefore now have a second vacancy (Clive Cooke left in August). We will be advertising for two new Members in due course - all enquiries welcome, to the Clerk or any of the Members of the Council (see the Contact us tab).
