Ilanit Slowly Resigns from Southwater Parish Council

Ilanit Slowly has announced her resignation from Southwater Parish Council after four and a half years of dedicated service. Reflecting on her time in the role, she shared the following statement:

"As I leave Southwater Parish Council after four and a half years, I look back on a time that started partially in lockdown, meeting some councillors for the first time via Zoom. Times have changed but the need for community focus and collaboration is still as important today.

It is with regret that I am resigning as a councillor. My commitments have become too great to devote enough quality time required to the role, whilst continuing with my other volunteering work. I took a break from council meetings late Autumn through the Winter to allow sufficient time to see if my situation changed and it remains the same.

This opens a vacancy, and the opportunity for new talent, a passionate volunteer who is committed to the community and to people. If you would like to learn more about the role, please contact enquiry@southwater-pc.gov.uk.

I would also like to take this opportunity to formally thank Southwater Parish Council and the Parish Office, I have learned many things and forged some friendships that will last a lifetime. It has been a valuable and rewarding experience.I am keen to still be very much community focused, via The WI – Southwater Women’s Institute, Southwater Community Partnership, Southwater Youth Project and Southwater Village Hall. If you would like to learn more about any of these organisations, please see website details":
