Tenby Town Council are on the look out for a new town crier.

Discussing the matter at this month’s meeting, the town clerk Andrew Davies told members that it was normal to appoint the town crier at the AGM, but he said at the time Jim Cornwall had a ‘few personal issues going on’ and was not sure if he could continue in the role and so had asked that he not be reappointed at that time, even though he was present at the AGM which took place on the night of the Mayor Making ceremony last month.

Mr. Davies said however, that Mr Cornwell now felt in a position to continue if members would like to consider this.

The Mayor, Cllr Sam Skyrme-Blackhall proposed advertising the position of town crier and, if Mr Cornwell wished to, he could apply.

Cllr Mrs Lane felt that, if only one person applied and the town council didn’t feel they were a suitable candidate, then they must be in a position to say no to them.

It was resolved to advertise for someone to take up the position of town crier.
