A few words from Cllr. Malcolm Fergsuon

I have been a Parish Councillor since March 2000 and Chair since June 2001 and I'm also a member of the Play Area Working Group within the Parish Council. My main role as Chair is to preside over the Council's monthly meetings, ensuring that good order is maintained and that the law of the land together with the Councils own 'rules' (Standing Orders) are observed. I also have a second casting vote in the event of a split decision within the Council.
My wanting to give something back to the village community was a key factor in my joining the council in the first instance and I have since gained a great deal of satisfaction in being able to achieve my original ambition.
On a more personal note I play golf and enjoy setting and running quizzes for friends and family which seem to go down rather well. I enjoy the friendly atmosphere of our local pub where I am frequently approached by locals voicing their concerns, asking for information, or generally seeking advice on various matters.

The Chairman is elected annually at the Annual Parish Council meeting which is normally held in May.

The Chairman's main role is to preside over the Council's monthly meetings, ensuring that good order is maintained and that the Council's Standing Orders are observed. In the event of a split decision within the Council the Chairman has a second, casting, vote to ensure that a majority decision is reached on all voting matters.

Once a year at the Annual Parish meeting the Chairman gives a brief report to summarise the main strategic events that have occurred in the previous twelve months.
