Bishop's Frome Parish Council has a vacancy for both the post of parish clerk and the position of honorary treasurer.

The current clerk, Janet Potter, and honorary treasurer Ian Beattie have both indicated their intention to stand down.

Parish council chairman John Pudge paid tribute to their work.

Coun Pudge, of the Hop Pocket, is also calling for people to step forward and stand for the parish council at the forthcoming May elections.

He said: "It is a time of change. We need new members prepared to think and work on behalf of our community.

"Those of you who have felt they could do better than the existing councillors, now is the time for them to put their names forward."
