Bredhurst Parish Council is pleased to announce the appointment of Melanie Fooks, our new Clerk and Responsible Finance Officer. This is the third time Melanie has worked for us.  She held a part-time Clerk’s position from 2006 to 2010 when she left to join Boxley Parish Council for a full-time post which she held until 2022. She also acted as our Locum Clerk for 6 months in 2021 until a permanent Clerk was appointed.

Many of you will know Melanie as she has lived in Bredhurst for 26 years. Melanie was also Bredhurst Woodland Action Group’s first secretary when it was formed in 2005. She has a passion for our community which we know she will bring to her new role.

Bredhurst PC are hugely indebted to Steve Hill who acted as our Locum Clerk since March. We would like to thank him for his support and hard work during a very busy time for the Council and we wish him all the very best for the future.
