Brian Barton New Parish Clerk
I have been appointed as Parish Clerk for Loughton Parish Council since January 2nd 2013.
I
would like to thank my predecessor Jenny Wilcox for her showing me the ropes
along with the Chair Cllr Peter Todd, and for the kind welcome that the
Councillors have given me whilst I have been finding my feet.
I
have recently attended a meeting of the Loughton and Great Holm Neighbourhood
Action Group to introduce myself to the community leaders on that body and had
an extensive tour of Loughton by Cllr Peter Todd and Great Holm by Cllr Peter
Ballantyne which I am grateful for them sparing the time to do so.
I
am also grateful to Ken Vaughan the Site Manager of the Specklands Allotment
Site on Loughton for giving me a tour showing me the various types of plots and
produces being grown by the tenants.
I
have worked in the Parish and Town Council sector now for over 12 years as a
Committee and Member Services Manager and I am CILCA qualified which is the
industry preferred qualification for Parish Clerks, as well as previously
having served as an Milton Keynes Councillor, a Parish Councillor, a School
Governor and a Board/Committee member of a number of local organisations from
the Milton Keynes Museum for Rural Life to the MacIntyre Care.
I
am looking forward to the challenge of this new appointment. My career has
focussed in local parish administration and I have been interested in doing the
senior officer role for quite some time. I think this is an excellent opportunity
and I look forward to working with the members of the parish council and local
stakeholders to develop further the work of the parish council.

you have any questions concerning the Parish Council or you wish to contact me
