Three vacancies have arisen on Little Hadham Parish Council.

The Council is seeking applications from residents within the parish who believe they could contribute to the principal aim of making our village a better place in which to live.

This is a job with considerable rewards – satisfaction rather than remuneration – for someone who wants to get more involved with the community. There are no formal qualifications but it would be helpful to be a confident self-starter, with experience or a personal interest that could benefit the work of the Council. People skills are important and access to email a distinct advantage.

The successful applicants would be co-opted after selection by existing councillors. If you think this might be you, please send a brief career summary and a note of any special interests, to:

Parish Clerk, Rosemary Cottage, Acorn St., Hunsdon, Herts, SG12 8PE
or: clerklittlehadham@gmail.com
