It's rather exciting when you see a tweet and realise they've mentioned a project you've done the work on!
2024 sorted! The SLCC have updated the month by month list of things to do, for a Clerk to a small council. It's available for members by following this link, or you are searching for advice note AD380 Yearly Calendar for Clerks in England. slcc.co.uk/advice/yearly-cal…

If you are talking about a building it is referred to a 'premises'. A 'premise' is something totally different. Why has this 'premise' slipped into use as a building?

Best Amazon delivery packaging this year. Ordered a pastry brush and a meat thermometer. It arrived like this! The box must be 50cm x 35cm!!

This is Old Paul Hill in Newlyn, Penzance. A number of these cottages used to be rented out to locals but many have been 'evicted' over the last couple of years in favour of AirBNBs. Some of the families are now homeless. The cottages weren't occupied over Easter. What a waste

A graveyard of radiators! The house is now gas-free. We’re now warmed by @herschel_ir far-infrared heating panels and a @SunampLtd hot water pcm.

Can someone explain to me why 3-months of HRT patches should count as two prescription charges? I’m a bit confused.

Utterly desperate to get a face to face appointment for my 17 year old who refuses to give the surgery his mobile 'phone number. What can I do @AlchesterMed ? He desperately needs help but this is simply ridiculous. Last time he had to go to A&E

On Sunday afternoon, I happened to listen to The Language Exchange on Radio 4 - bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001fc… I nearly turned it off after I heard that the subject was Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (as I wasn’t sure I wanted to confront that particular subject then).

This Syndrome is what our twins died from more than 18 years ago. But I was so glad I kept tuned. It was lovely and the final poem was so resonant. If you have a chance to catch it on @BBCSounds , it’s well worth it. @TwinsTrust

It's only when you see the Parish Clerk's role written down that you realise quite how broad it is. Even the smallest Parish will need a Clerk who has the majority of these skills. Councillors and residents of parished areas should recognise and value what their Clerk does.

The Councils should ensure that their Clerks are remunerated appropriately. Clerks should be the parish's greatest asset.
