Our Parish Councillors are made up of local residents who live in all parts of the Parish. Some were born here, some were born locally, some have moved in from 'over the border'. They have a diverse range of talents and interests which they allow the Council to use to help make the Parish a better place for everyone to live. They give their time freely and receive no payment and rarely (if ever) claim any expenses. We were very sorry that Mary Thomas has decided to stand down as a member of the Council at our recent meeting. We thank her for all the years she has served with the Council first as Clerk then as a Member and later Vice Chair. So we have 1 vacancy (see the noticeboard section) if you are interested please contact the Clerk or any of the Councillors Mike James of Whitford Farmer - more information to follow Richard Orsman of Whitford Richard moved from Shropshire to Whitford 35 years ago because of an employment opportunity.
