Peacehaven Town Clerk, George Dyson, Wins Prestigious National Award

Representing clerks from over 5,000 town, parish, and community councils across England and Wales, SLCC awarded George the title of New Clerk of the Year at its National Conference last week. The award, drawn from a shortlist of nominations submitted by local council professionals, recognises clerks who have shown exceptional promise, dedication, and excellence in the first three years of their career.

Congratulating George, Rob Smith, SLCC Chief Executive, remarked, "George’s work exemplifies the vital role local council clerks play behind the scenes. His leadership fostered a culture of collaboration and improvement. Through strategic initiatives, he has enhanced staff training and strengthened health & safety practices.
