The Parish Council is pleased to
report that a new chairman has been appointed – Mrs Sue Bradstock
Smith, with Mr Tim Sellors as Vice Chairman. Mrs Emily McKitterick
was welcomed as a new councillor. The Oving website was discussed; thanks were noted for the hard work of Mrs Sue England in her role as website administrator. The future of the website and its structure was discussed; further research will be done over the summer. Thanks were also noted to Sue England and Di Pits for their work with the Parish News. Di is looking for a replacement for next year and would like someone to step forward to help and “shadow” her for the December issue. A broadband committee is being established in order to find out more about how improvements can be made to the speed and quality of broadband in Oving and what resources may be available to do this. Andrew Smith, our West Sussex County Councillor reported that the County Council, the District Council and the Police Authority are currently estimating the impact that the government cuts will have. The Community Wardens and Police reported on their work over the past 2 months and encouraged people to report any incidents to them so that they can be dealt with as efficiently and effectively as possible. Contact the police on 0845 607099 (extension 22257) or the Community Wardens on the number on page 2 of the Parish News. And finally…. Oving Community Action Group have completed repairs to the playground equipment and are awaiting new goalposts for the recreation ground. Jen Linford (Clerk to Oving Parish Council) |
| What is a Parish Clerk? | |
|
I took over this role from Roger
Parsons in June and have since been learning something new every
day!
Having been a secondary school French teacher for 16 years, working from home in the village and dealing with accounts and tons of post and emails has been a really new adventure! What is a Parish Clerk? I certainly knew very little this time last year, but for those of you who don’t know, I am the paid officer for the Parish Council. I act as the Council’s mailbox and so deal with correspondence on a daily basis, forwarding items to relevant councillors. I am also responsible for the Parish Council’s accounts. I am not elected and have no authority to act alone, but if you wish to make a representation to the Parish Council, I will pass on issues to be discussed and acted on in the Council meetings. Please find my details on the first page. The Parish Council meetings are held bi-monthly on a Wednesday (the next two are on 14 January and 18 March) in Oving Jubilee Hall and are open to the public. Do look out for details on the Parish notice boards nearer the time and come and find out what is happening in your parish. Jen Linford |
