MIDSOMER NORTON LIFE
TOWN CLERK WINS PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL AWARD
I
t was announced that Donna Ford, Town Clerk for Midsomer Norton, has been awarded the prestigious accolade of ‘Clerk of the Year’ at the glittering awards night of the National Association of Local Councils held in Milton Keynes. Donna was singled out from over 7,000 Clerks in the UK so this is a fabulous achievement. “I’m over the moon not just for myself but for the town. You could have knocked me over with a feather last night when they announced my name as ‘Clerk of the Year’ in front of other Clerks and County Association representatives from around the UK”, said Donna Ford, Town Clerk, Midsomer Norton Town Council. Donna was nominated by B&NES Cllr Paul Myers and Amanda Hazell, Deputy Clerk, months ago for her work principally on completing the town's Asset Transfer Project - bringing it to fruition after over a decade of delays. In doing this she achieved a key long term objective not just for the Town Council but for the community as a whole. Cllr Michael Evans, Mayor of Midsomer Norton commented, “Donna joined Midsomer Norton Town Council in March 2018 and has brought energy and vitality to the role – achieving a huge amount for the town in her time with us. Her Award as Clerk of the Year is justly deserved”.
Since the Asset Transfer, Donna has been focusing on working with the Midsomer Norton Town Trust to deliver the Town Park Project where work is progressing a pace on site with contractors.
