The Parish Council Office Team

The Parish Council employs a number of staff both full and part-time. A Clerk to the Council & Proper Officer, Responsible Financial Officer and two Committee Clerks make up the office team.

A number of groundsmen under a Head Groundsman are employed to maintain the village’s extensive landscaped areas. You can find out more about our Grounds team here.

Around £124,000 is needed each year to administer and maintain the village’s many amenities.

I have taken up the post of Operations Manager, I am thrilled to be joining the Parish and look forward to meeting you. I live locally with my husband and daughter. I have come from the military charity sector, having spent the last 15 years in two military associations looking after our serving men, women and veterans, a really fulfilling career with real job satisfaction. I have now settled in this area and wanted to join a community and be part of the local story. Denmead has a lot to offer and I am looking forward to helping the Village grow and develop. I have also realised it has the best doughnuts in the area! I enjoy cycling, walking my dog and generally being outside. I hope to bump into some of you in the village and feel free to come and say hello at the Parish Office.

Hello, I’m Sam Lowe and have taken up the post of Heads Groundsman, it is a pleasure to be working for the Parish and I will work hard to keep Denmead looking great with the help of my dedicated team. Although I have only been in the position for a few weeks I can see how much the residents of Denmead care for their village. Please feel free to approach me with any topics regarding the amenity areas. I have been living in Waterlooville for six years with my wife and two children, originally coming from Sunningdale, in Berkshire, and supervised a team to look after the grounds of Portsmouth University during this time. I hope to see you out and about in the Parish.
