The Parish Council meets 6 times a year with an Annual Assembly in April. Anyone can attend our meetings which are all held at Sandon Village Hall. Although we decide key matters between us we each have particular areas of focus which are below. All the Councillors are elected volunteers. We are supported by our Clerk and Financial Officer.

Janice Darton
School, Sports Club
I started my journey in Sandon over 40 years ago working at Rockells Jersey Farm.
From there I moved to Hyde Hall, then onto Mill End, before moving up to the village.
For over 20 years I was employed as a cook manager, starting my career at Sandon School before moving onto other schools in North Herts. In semi-retirement I have returned to Sandon School as part of the care-taking team and assist the cook in her duties. My 4 children attended the School and have careers in business, The Arts, and public services. Whilst growing up in the village their needs were recognised, I helped set up the Mother & Toddler group, Youth Club, and spent 12 years as the Sports Club secretary, then with the closure of our Pubs set up the Pub night. My services have been offered in the past to the Village Hall and Church, cleaning, fundraising and grass cutting. I have an interest in Sandon’s history, and look forward to its future.
