Melksham Town Council Welcomes New Officers!

Melksham Town Council is excited to welcome several new members of staff to its Officer team.

The Council tasked Tracy Predeth MPA, Locum Clerk, with recruiting a new administrative team to take the Council forward and work towards the new Municipal Year, as local elections take place in May 2025. 

Hayley Bell has been appointed as Deputy Town Clerk and will be assisting with project management as well as taking on tasks to support the Locum Clerk.

A Part-Time HR Officer, Fran House, has been appointed to undertake all recruitment and personnel tasks, as well as ensuring all Council policies are up to date.

Christina Connor is the new Events & Community Development Officer, and will be overseeing all Melksham Town Council events, managing the Grants Scheme and developing new community engagement projects in Melksham.

She will be supported by a new Events & Community Development Assistant, Franchezka Cunanan, who will also be undertaking reception duties and assisting the Assembly Hall Team.

Brian Bennett, who has been with the Council for 7 months, is now moving into the role of Assembly Hall Manager, overseeing the operations in the Hall and assisting in running Council events. In addition, due to an increase in regular bookings and popularity, an additional Duty Manager will shortly be recruited to plan and run events in the Hall as well as out in the community.

The Town Council is looking forward to being in a stronger position to develop current and future projects, and to better support the community of Melksham. The Town Mayor, Councillor Tom Price, welcomes all the new employees to the Council.
