KINGSLEY PARISH COUNCIL
VACANCY
PART-TIME CLERK & RESPONSIBLE FINANCIAL OFFICER (RFO)
From Councillor Sue Billows:
We are so sorry that Louise our Parish Clerk has decided to embark on a new venture.. a Bed and Breakfast in Harlech. We all at the Parish Council wish her well and must admit I am waiting for the opportunity to book in.
Louise has made a massive contribution to getting the Parish Council up to speed and reorganizing a lot of our systems, we will be always grateful to her.
Louise's contribution has lead us to realize that increased legislative requirements mean more hours. For example, the cemetery is taking considerable time to manage. We now need to have someone in attendance at every funeral. Kingsley has been innundated with the planning application. The additional facilities at the newly named Kingsley Park ( Westbrook Playing Field) need constant monitoring to ensure it complies with Health and Safety and is a pleasant venue for all. General legislation, applications for Precepts and Grants are time-consuming and need a lot of thought, and the list can go on and on. The Boardroom is a great facility that makes the Parish Council open and approachable but does need manning.
Like many things in life, we have become more paperwork and less fun. We need a good administrator to keep us in line and give all the Councillors time to spend in the Community. I am not complaining, when we had no clerk, Councillor Critchley & I spent on average 45 hours a month, last year, just treading water & keeping on top of the necessary documentation. Other Councillors have spent a lot of time dealing with matters like Tarmac at Crowton, attending briefings and taking on projects. I ask you, would you do the same for no pay? The Parish Clerk is the only paid member of the team.
Please please if you are interested and want to know more call me or message me, I will be happy to talk to you on an informal basis and show you around the job... I also will be very honest re the highs and lows...
If you have got this far Thank You for reading my honest appraisal of the situation.

Kingsley Parish Council along with the councils of Acton bridge and Crowton have been actively engaged over the last two years in discussions with Cheshire West and Chester Planning Department to bring to an end quarry operations at this site.
There has been no sand extraction nor importation of infill material to the quarry since 2018.
Work is continuing on the restoration of the site by the quarry operators and preparations to return it to pastureland. In a recent visit, councillors have observed the re-grading of the fields and landscape reformation.

The offices have now been demolished. The weighbridge is sold and will be removed from the site this coming weekend. Some 300 metres of the tarmac entrance road up to the B5153 will be lifted and removed from next Tuesday 2nd December onwards; this will entail some 54 lorry loads & 108 movements. They are designated for a site some 13 miles away so local residents need to be aware of this temporary activity.
This work will effectively close off the site to any further access from the Crowton entrance.
