David Parratt is leaving us as Town Clerk and the Town Council is looking for his replacement. He has done a meticulous job with the limitted resources he has been given.
I understand that Jayne Kendal is being suggested as his replacement.
She is certainly a forceful character and much appreciated by former councillors: but is that a good thing?
How much does she bring the people of the town together?
How much does she harness their considerable energy?
Or is her emphasis to be egotistical and drive her own projects a common trait with many councillors?
Is she like her colleague Peter Winston? And is that a good thing for the people of the town?
Or is she good for the councillors? Does it follow that this is the same as being good for the people and businesses of the town?
The choice of person is very important at the present time if the town is to gain new energy by harnessing drive of the people in the town. The councillors have not done an inspiring job in the past. Few people have much respect for them and the way they have worked. Do we have some new leadership in the town? Is this more democratic in that at last the people are getting behind some of this new thinking?
Does Jayne Kendal fit in with this approach?
