Chairman’s Report to the Annual Parish Meeting

Birdham Parish Council

April 15th 2002

In the past year the Council has met eleven times. I would again like to pay tribute to all the Councillors for the time and effort they have put in to a genuinely collaborative Council, dedicated to the best interests of the people of Birdham. During the year we have been joined by Councillor Rachel Huskisson, who has brought particular professional expertise to the Council in the field of water ecology, Councillor Alan Drew, who has provided a valuable link with the Parochial Church Council as a Churchwarden, and Councillor Colin Robinson, who has unfortunately been forced to withdraw because of ill-health. We send him our best wishes for a speedy recovery. My thanks are due to all members of the Council for their attendance at meetings on behalf of the Council as well as their valuable advice in decision-making. We are also grateful to our paid employees, Betty Geary, Adrian Dover and John Talbot, and particularly to our Clerk, Saskia Heasman. (more…)
