COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER POST

On 16 October 2023, the Committee considered the first draft of the Town Council’s
budget for the 2024-25 financial year (ref. minute F&P/23/42) which included a report
regarding the possibility of establishing a communications resource within the Town
Council in order to keep residents informed about construction works, any changes in
the town and how those may affect the residents.

At that meeting, the Committee resolved to:
a) agree to the creation of a Communications Officer role within the Town Council,
subject to affordability depending on the tax base dated 30 November 2023.

b) agree the details of the role, i.e. a job description and person specification, at the
next meeting of the Finance and Personnel Committee on 15 January 2024 if the role
was affordable.

The tax base figure dated 30 November 2023 which determines the Town Council’s
precept demand for 2024-25 was favourable and the Committee is invited to consider
and approve the attached job description
