Edington Parish Council celebrate clerk’s 50 years’ service

EDINGTON Parish Council clerk, Malcolm Wieck, has just celebrated an impressive 50 years of service which makes him one of the longest serving clerks in the whole of Wiltshire and one of only a handful of clerks in the entire country who have served for that amount of time.  

Malcolm took up the role in April 1974 and is still serving the parish council. He says he is looking forward to celebrating 60 years as clerk in the future!

Recently, past and present councillors met in the Edington parish hall with some of Malcolm’s friends and the chair of Wiltshire Council cllr James Sheppard to celebrate the occasion and present him with gifts.

The present parish council chairman, John Pollard, said, “Malcolm has been a very dedicated and loyal officer of the council and many past and present councillors are indebted to him for his support over the years.

“He has a vast reservoir of knowledge on parish council matters and can always find the answer to any council question. He is a very professional, meticulous and hard-working clerk who also juggles his work with that of assistant priest for the Bratton, Edington, Coulston, Imber and Erlestoke benefice.”
