Parish Clerk set to vacate office this year
News - 14 January 2008
At its January meeting, Kelvedon Parish Council received the resignation of its long-standing Clerk - Mrs Jill Hinds MBE. Jill indicated that she hoped to be able to leave her post by the end of August, but noted that this could be earlier depending on the appointment of a replacement.
Jill is a very well known figure in the village. She was first appointed to the post of Council Clerk in September 1978 having previously served as a parish councillor since 1974. In total, she will have been associated with Kelvedon Parish Council for some 34 years – a remarkable achievement of public service. Her public role was part of the proposition submitted for which she was subsequently awarded the MBE in the 2007 Queen’s New Years Honours list.
This release is merely to announce the news. More will be posted about Jill’s service nearer to the time of her departure.
The council has yet to decide how or when to advertise and begin the difficult task of searching for and selecting a successor for the Clerkship. More information about this process will be published in due course but anyone interested in receiving more details is invited to register with the council in order to receive an information pack in due course.
