Maureen Chaffe

​

The skills I bring to the board are administrative. I have worked with the Parish for the past 8 years to bring the Neighbourhood Plan to fruition. I am able to use my I.T. and admin skills to support the board but I am also passionate about seeing the aspirations of the Parish outworked through the Plan process and through the CLT.
