March 2023
PRICKWILLOW VILLAGE COUNCIL ROLE
At the recent AGM, the Chair, Dan Littler stood down. The current Secretary volunteered to take on the role; however, there were insufficient members present to vote and no-one came forward to take on the Secretary’s role that would become vacant.
The Village Council are therefore appealing for any resident who would like to be Secretary to either contact Chantal Epp at chantalepp01@hotmail.co.uk or come along to the next Council meeting on March 13 at 8.00pm.
Alternatively, if you’d prefer to take on the role of Chair, Chantal has said that she would continue as Secretary.
No experience necessary. Please contact Chantal for further information.
