Gaye’s Bench

Brightly coloured and more than a bit fabulous, Parish Clerk Gaye Thomas has worked with Sandgate Parish Council for over 10 years.

To mark the anniversary, Gaye has generously donated a brightly coloured and more than a bit fabulous bench to the Parish, which was this morning sited on Sandgate Village Green.

Sandgate Parish Chair Tim Prater said:

“Gaye’s commitment to Sandgate over the last decade and more has been second to none, and we’re really touched that she’s has chosen to mark that time with a gift like this to the Parish.

“Gaye gained her Certificate in Local Council Administration (CiLCA) qualification last year in record time, meaning Sandgate meet the criteria of a Quality Council. We absolutely want to keep both!

“This isn’t a goodbye bench but a celebration one!”
