Decision details

The Council received and considered the report of the Office Manager.

Members discussed whether to formalise the position of Town Crier and some expressed concern that a proper “recruitment process” had not been followed.  Members also discussed whether the Chamber of Commerce could facilitate the position.

The Town Clerk advised members that the role was purely civic and not as an employee of the Council, as there was no renumeration for the position. 

RESOLVED:          that the position of the Town Crier is formalised under the umbrella of the Town Council – the current postholder would remain in post until May 2021.
