From Claygate
I must also address the serious topic of the Elmbridge hearing in November which found that two Parish Councillors bullied Sally Harman, our former clerk. It is a matter of great regret to me that this happened. We have reported it in this edition (see Page 5) as it is an event that has affected both the former clerk and the Parish Council and cannot be ignored or glossed over.
In addition, I respectfully apologise to Sally for all she was subjected to and wish her every good wish in her new role as Chief County Officer at the Surrey Association of Local Councils. I now hope that the Parish Council can put this difficult matter behind us and move forward in a new spirit of collaboration – which I am already beginning to see.
