Thank You, Val and John Arnold
John has served as Vice Chairman of Upchurch Parish Council for many years and attended his last full council meeting yesterday.
As a Parish Councillor, John has overseen the village highways, reporting and chasing repairs to faults as they occur. He has lit up the village Christmas tree, installed defibrillators, and has taken the lead on the recent street light upgrade. John has also carried out work to Upchurch Village Hall.
John's electrical expertise and team of helpers have powered and made possible many of the village's most loved and well attended events over recent years.
Val and John were both involved in bringing back the Village Fete to the Paddock in 2014, and John's work with Upchurch Scout Group helped ensure their hugely popular Family Fireworks event could go ahead safely every year.
The number of projects John has volunteered his spare time to during the family's time living in Crosier Court is much too long to list.
Thank you, Val and John, for all you have done for our village 👏🏼
Upchurch will miss you, for sure!
