Has there been something in the air or
water here in Oving Parish?! Parish Councillors have come and gone since January.... We have had to bid farewell to four councillors, all of whom have given a huge amount of their time to the parish. Martin Fairbrother, our Vice Chairman resigned earlier this year. I must convey my personal thanks to him for his support whilst he was acting chair and I was a relatively new clerk. Veronica Migliorini and Louise Harris have been councillors for many years and Veronica played a large part in the huge task of fundraising for the playground and other facilities at the recreation ground in Highfield Lane. Finally Rod Hague has been our Chairman for four years and set up Greening Oving during his time on the Parish Council. Imust t hank him for his support to me as Parish Clerk and for the work he put in for Oving. We wish them all well in their varied “retirements”. Luckily there are others who have been keen to take their places and we welcome Emily McKitterick (High Street), Ron Migliorini (Colworth), Nick Scutt (Shopwyke) and Alan Smith (Sampsons Drive). Please find their contact details on page 2 of the OPN and contact them if you have any concerns you would like to raise to the Parish Council. 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 |
