Caretaker/Litter Picker Job Vacancy

Festive Wishes from Kesgrave Town Council Kesgrave Town Council, councillors and officers would like to wish you all a peaceful Christmas and New Year. We hope that you get to spend some quality time with your family and friends. Please spare a thought and do not forget the lonely, in particular some of our elderly community and also the sick, the recently bereaved and those suffering other personal difficulties and challenges. If you can spare a little time for a lonely neighbour over Christmas, even just half an hour over a cup of tea, this would make a huge difference to them during the festive celebrations. We look forward to working with you and providing a first class “grass roots” local government service to you all during 2017.
