Resignation of the Chairman
of the Cholderton Parish Meeting
Added 25th of May 2017
I have decided to end my long spell as Parish Chairman. I feel it is time for a new approach and fresh enthusiasm, using modern social media, to serve this village. I am also of an age when I do not want this responsibility.
There will be an Extraordinary General Meeting of the parish on Thursday 22nd June at 8pm in the Village Hall to elect a new Chair. I shall then resign, whatever the result of this meeting.
It has been a privilege to serve this village, I know that Myra and I will continue to enjoy your friendship and support.
