Bourton-on-the-Water Parish Council

Sue Cretney

I moved to Bourton with my husband, Bill, in 2003 and joined the Council as Clerk at the beginning of 2007.  I have to say that before I arrived I had little idea of what the work of a Parish Clerk really involved.  

It’s an interesting, varied and challenging role in which my primary responsibilities are to carry out the decisions of the Parish Council, act as a liaison between the community, councillors and other agencies such as GCC, CDC etc and administer the day to day running of Council’s business.

I’ve always had a great passion for most sports including horse racing, and particularly enjoy the racing at Cheltenham, where I'm a member.  As a resident of Bourton, as well as your Clerk, I hope that I can play a part in helping the Parish Council preserve our local environment and improve facilities for the benefit of the local community.
