Parish Clerk Alison Hooker

I started working at Marden Parish Council in September 2002 and continue to enjoy my role working 37 hours per week.  I am employed as the Parish Clerk and Responsible Financial Officer and both roles are interesting and very varied.

I grew up in the village and my husband’s parents still live here.  I was one of the first to attend Marden Pre-School and also attended Marden Primary School.

I have two sons, four grandchildren and live in Cranbrook with my husband, Mike.

I have always worked within Local Government firstly at Kent Police and then Kent County Council.

I was pleased to obtain the Certificate in Local Council Administration in November 2006 which helped me have a better understanding of Parish Councils.
