Claire Smith
I have been the Clerk since September 2024! So I am brand new to this role and, having never ‘clerked’ before, I am looking forward to the challenge ahead! I have lived in Flamstead for 9 years and in that time have been Chair at Flamstead Preschool, Chair of Friends of Flamstead School (FoFS) and, my most recent role, saw me head up many village events as Community Engagement Manager for The Heritage Project. I love Flamstead village and feel very lucky to call it home; I look forward to getting to know more people of Flamstead in my new role and serving this wonderful community effectively and positively.
My role is very different to that of the councillors; I am responsible for the financial welfare of the Parish, all the meeting related administration, the compliance status of the council, plus assisting with various projects such as the pavilion, the playground and sourcing funding for new ventures.
