New Parish Clerk

Shepton Montague Parish Council's Clerk, Margaret Bowden, has left her role after 16 years, replaced by new Clerk Joe Leach.

Parish Council Chairman Cllr. Paul Williams said, 

'Margaret has been our Parish Clerk for 16 years during which time she has worked conscientiously to run the many facets of the job.

She has shown an exceptional ability to record accurate minutes and respond concisely to planning applications gleaned from our often lengthy discussions.

She has been instrumental in creating our new website which is a credit to her. She has done the annual budget, written up the accounts and dealt with the bank which I know has been frustrating.

The village owes her a huge debt of gratitude and I personally have thoroughly enjoyed working with her. 

She will be missed but we are extremely grateful to welcome Joe Leach as our new clerk and we look forward to working with him.'
