Here's the odd thing - I should talk on here about my coaching business, or my role as a #townclerk or #parishcouncils or #cycling but mainly just talk about #dogsofmastodon and walking the noble Jackson - it must be something in the air here...m

@jdekstrand He needed a #TownClerk from a querulous #parishcouncil to advise him - I never organise a confidential council meeting without checking behind the curtains for curious hobbits

#Railways #Policy #MultiModal #Hendy #UnionConnectivityReview Yup, my job is not all litter bins and bus shelters - today was an afternoon of trying to be polite about a report written by a railway person that has held up much needed road improvements in favour of another study of whether the money should go into rail instead... #ParishCouncil #Parish #TownClerk #BangsHeadOnDesk

#Parish #ParishCouncil Parish and town councils are the most local tier of local government in many parts of England. As a #TownClerk I'm the Chief of staff at a #TownCouncil - which is a #ParishCouncil that covers a town. Lots of urban areas don't have parish councils and traditionally the Labour Party has opposed their formation, but they're a hugely valuable contribution to local democracy.
