Welcome to our new Parish Clerk
Claire Reed joins us on Mon 6th May; and comes to us following 5 years as Parish Clerk at Goudhurst. I'm sure everyone will make her welcome as and when they meet her.
We also say farewell to Alison Stevens, who leaves us as Clerk to join KALC as their new Deputy CEO. We thank her for all she has done for the Parish in the last two years and wish her every success in her new role.
