Anita Curtis
Geddington, Newton & Little Oakley Parish Council
welcomes a new Clerk to the Council.
Anita Curtis takes up her place in the Council Chamber for the first time on Monday 8th September at 7.30pm.
Anita kindly responded to a request from Geddington.net for some personal details and gave us her reasons for taking on this very responsible job.
“I have lived in Geddington with my husband Clive since 1984. My children, Adam and Adele, attended several of the village organisations including the Playgroup, Geddington Primary School, Beavers, Cubs & Scouts and the Youth Club. I was involved in helping with some of the village activities whilst the children were young, but unfortunately, as often seems to happen, a return to full time work then took priority and although I continued to take an interest in what was happening in the village, and supported a lot of its many activities, I was not involved in giving ‘hands on’ support to them. Although I still work full time, I now have more time to spare and I was pleased to be given the opportunity to give something back to the village, by supporting the Parish Council.
For the last 16 years I have worked in local government in a variety of posts. These include within an Audit department, Customer Services, Housing, Neighbourhood Management and Children & Young People Complaints.
Hobbies and interests include reading, walking, gardening, swimming, gym and I really want to start cycling more, but just can’t fit it in!
I hope that both living in and taking a strong interest in the village, as well as working within local government for several years and having a lot of different job experiences, will help me to help the Parish Council to continue to improve how it delivers its democratic functions.”
