Parish Clerk & Responsible Financial Officer![]() Tracie Dodd - Clerk
"Tracie joined the Parish Council in March 2020, taking over the Parish Clerk role from the long serving Barbara Uren. With Tracie's exemplary professional experience and finance skills, she will additionally be taking a dual role and standing also as LPC's RFO (Responsible Financial Officer) taking over from the long standing, John Francis. Although these are big shoes to fill, Tracie is not phased in the slightest, and welcomes the challenge with excitement and commitment. Tracie and her family have lived in the village for 25 years and her career has mainly been in finance and the Public Sector including acting as Bursar/Finance Officer at a number of local schools; making her perfect as Parish Clerk." |

I don't profess to be an expert in all parish council matters. However I bring a wealth of knowledge and know-how to keep the Parish up-to-date with the latest media communications from our parish council and from our borough council. I also work with our church parish office to include content in our local parish mag on our website and I strive to create engaging community events such as the Christmas Raffle, Time Capsule Anagram competition, the Photography competition and the bi-annual Litter Picks. I have also assisted over the years in hosting the Duck Race, Hopping Do, Queen's Jubilee street party and served on our Primary School PTA for 2 years. I am married, a Mum of two and I work full time, yet I try my best to make time to contribute to our community." Tel: 07376 369699 Email: [email protected] |
