Clare Smith took up the post of Parish Clerk in March 2019. Clare had previously been Clerk at Ilkley since 2014, and before that was Assistant Clerk Knaresborough Town Council.  Clearly her experience at Ilkley helps enormously with local knowledge and contacts at Bradford.

Clare is delighted to be joining the parish council at a very exciting time and looks forward to working with all the community in Burley.
