Retirement of the Town Clerk

In accordance with the procedures for the appointment of Chief Officers, your Policy and Resources Committee is required to notify the Court of Common Council of a vacancy occurring in the position of Town Clerk. We, therefore, advise that Chris Duffield has tendered his resignation and intends to retire on 16^th September 2012. 

With the approval of the Establishment Committee, the process to find Mr Duffield’s successor has now commenced.

At the meeting of the Court in January 2012, the process for recruitment to vacancies filled by the Court was raised and the Policy and Resources Committee was requested to report back on those arrangements. Work is ongoing in this respect and a report will be submitted to the Court shortly.

We recommend that the Town Clerk’s resignation be noted.
