Carol has put in another excellent year of work for us and is to be congratulated not only on this but having gained her qualification this year. She has been awarded the Certificate in Local Government Administration (CiLCA). This is an not an easy task for parish clerks, as it demands many hours of preparation in putting together the right material to satisfy the Adjudicator.
