Dear Residents of Nunthorpe,
Nunthorpe Parish Council would like to reassure residents that we remain fully committed to delivering the high standards of service and representation that our community expects and deserves.
Despite recent changes within the Council, including the departure of several councillors and our former Clerk, the Council continues to operate effectively and remains focused on the matters that are important to residents. From supporting the continued progress of the new Community Centre, to addressing local issues such as highways, environmental maintenance, and planning matters, our commitment to Nunthorpe remains unchanged.
We would like to express our sincere thanks to former councillors Morgan, Adrian and Wade for their dedication, hard work, and years of service to the parish. We also extend our gratitude to our former Clerk, Angela, for her professionalism, guidance and valued contribution over many years.
At the same time, we recognise that periods of change also bring new opportunities. With departures come new councillors who bring fresh perspectives, ideas and energy, helping us to evolve as an organisation and continue to serve our community effectively. As such, we would like to extend our gratitude and a warm welcome to Doug Wardale and Jo Rush (who many of you will already know as your ward councillor). We look forward to working with them and benefiting from their experience and commitment to Nunthorpe.
We also welcome Sophie Durham to the team as the new clerk of the parish council. Sophie has experience of the role and is clerk to another parish council.
Looking ahead, it is a priority for Nunthorpe Parish Council to adhere to the strict governance arrangements we have in place. We are confident that, moving forward, we can achieve this to a high standard and without compromise, ensuring transparency, accountability and effective decision-making in all that we do.
While we look to the future with optimism, we never lose sight of who we are and who we serve. First and foremost, we are here to represent the people of Nunthorpe and to be your voice on the issues that matter most to our community.
We encourage residents to engage with us, whether through social media, by contacting the Clerk at [email protected], or by attending a Parish Council meeting and sharing your views on local matters.
We look forward to continuing our work on behalf of the community and to sharing positive news, projects and events from across Nunthorpe in the months ahead.
We recognise that recent changes have brought a period of transition for the Council and are grateful for the understanding and patience shown by residents during this time and thank you all for your continued support
