Comments
The meeting I attended recently was informal and friendly. A member of the CC provided a translation into English and English was used when the letter I had sent was dealt with. Some members have only been Community Councillors for as little as a couple of years, whereas one member of the CC has been in office for 51 years and the Clerk has been in office for 36 years.
