It's Local Council Clerk Week!

Clerks are professionals, they’re usually trained and qualified in community governance and council administration. Juggling a range of skills from finance and accounting, staff management and HR to understanding and interpreting relevant and ever-changing legislation. They’re advisers to their councillors making sure that what councils do is done properly, then they roll up their sleeves ready to lead volunteers to clean rivers, collect litter or fundraise for local projects.

Join us in saying thank you!

Unfortunately, The Council has taken the difficult decision to cancel this year's event due to ongoing staffing and volunteer issues and lack of resources to organise the day to the high standard we strive for.

We are disappointed but we must accept that the decision is best made now, rather than closer to event day. We hope you understand our position and we will of course be issuing full refunds to those who have paid a stall fee.

Thank you for your support.
