Changes at new Buckenham Parish Council

At the May Parish Council meeting Karen Hobley stepped down as Chair after a record breaking 25 years in the role. Over this time she has led the Council diligently and sensitively, listening to and balancing opinion from both Councillors and the public. Thanks were expressed to Karen for her long (and continuing) dedication to public service and a presentation was made of a engraved silver platter, flowers, and champagne. 25 years is an amazing milestone to reach, and probably never to be beaten. Karen has led the Council through many issues, some controversial, and always  of benefit to the village. Some that spring to mind are the sale of the Town Houses and subsequent creation of the Project Fund- which has benefitted many organisations in the village-the Neighbourhood Plan project, and the play area refurbishment. But of particular importance has been the transition in the operation and administration of the Council to a modern and accountable organisation fit for the 21st century. Thanks again Karen for all your work. I have now taken over as Chair (albeit not for a 25year term!) and Paul Martin is elected as Vice- Chair. 

Andre Bingham Parish Council Chair
