COMMITTEE PLANNING OFFICER REQUIRED Our present Planning Officer is retiring from the committee at the next AGM and we are looking for someone to replace her. Duties include reviewing planning documents, writing short reports and attending planning and committee meetings. We recognise that this post requires a certain amount of commitment and therefore are happy to accept a couple, pair of friends or partners who could manage this role together. The committee takes a lot of interest in all planning aspects and individually inspects documents and makes comments to relieve the burden and support the planning officer. Previous experience is not essential. If you are interested in getting involved please email our Chairman at hajdu.clarion@talk21.com |
