About The Clerk

The Clerk is an independent weekly briefing for the people who run, administer and govern town and parish councils in England and Wales — clerks, RFOs, deputy and assistant clerks, council managers, chairs and councillors. Every Thursday morning we read the government announcements, funding databases, consultations and sector publications so you don't have to, and send you the essentials in an email you can read in about 90 seconds. The newsletter is free for readers and funded by carefully selected sponsorship. Sponsors never receive subscriber data, and reader trust always comes before sponsorship income.
