FORMER administrator with the MoD Sue Lemon has been appointed as the new parish clerk of Calstock.

She will take over from Julia Massey who retires at the end of July. Sue, from Gunnislake, has lived in the area for two years and was previously employed by Lynher Training after working all over the country for the MoD.

Julia has been parish clerk for almost 20 years and is retiring to pursue other interests. She said she found the clerk's job 'constantly interesting, varied and challenging'.
