Chairs Report May 2025

Chair’s Annual Report May 2025

 

When I (Charlotte Mahoney) took over the Chair this time last year I was very new to the job.  I was carrying out the Clerk’s role too and getting to grips with the legislation.  However there’s been lots of positives within the year such as the time capsule which is buried for 25 years and has its own plaque.  The Memorial site has improved tremendously with a beautiful grassed area. The flag has been flying for VE day and various other events throughout the year.  Our new Clerk has a solid financial grounding as an accountant previously with the District Council which is helpful.  A community questionnaire went out unfortunately there wasn’t a great response – probably 20 odd back – hopefully that means that most of the community are relatively happy with what we are doing. There’s been a lot of change everywhere with the new Labour Government and the sweeping results for Reform in the recent Lincolnshire County Council elections.  Currently we are two councillors down – so we are working with five out of a possible seven councillors – if anyone would like to join us please email the Clerk – she will be pleased to send you  an application form (clerk@eastkealparishcouncil.gov.uk) – we are a friendly group
