The Clerk is the Parish Council’s ‘proper officer‘ (defined for most legislation by s.270(3) Local Government Act 1972 ) and is our only member of staff. The role of the Clerk is to ensure that the Council as a whole conducts its business properly and to provide independent, objective and professional advice and support. The duties include but are not limited to:
Duties |
---|
ensuring that the council conducts its business lawfully, |
administering all the council’s paperwork, |
ensuring that meeting papers are properly prepared and the public is aware of meeting times, |
implementing the council’s decisions, |
keeping property registers and other legal documents. |
Our Clerk also takes on the role of the council’s Responsible Financial Officer (RFO). A copy of the Clerk’s current Job Description and Person Specification can be seen here. A copy of the current standard Contract of Employment can be seen here.
We are a small authority so the position of Clerk is part time, currently 4 hours per week. Details of how to contact the Clerk are also on the Contact Us page.

The List Length
The document list is initially displayed with the first 10 entries visible. The Show Entries drop-down selection box, above and to the left of the document list, may be used to show more (or less) entries at a time. The number of list entries currently shown and the total number of entries in the full list is displayed below the document list.
Pagination
The Previous, Page No. and Next buttons below the document list may be used to navigate between the list pages if not all the list entries are shown at once.
The List Length and Pagination work together. Changing the List Length as above changes the number of pages accordingly.

The documents are initially listed in a pre-defined order. The list order may be changed by selecting either the ID or Document Name column headings. The up/down arrow on the right side of the colum heading indicates the current sort direction. Selecting the column heading again reverses the sort order.
Note that changing the sort direction affects all the documents in the list, not just those that may be currently visible. When changing the sort order, the list is re-displayed from the first page if the list is currently paginated.
