Chris May - Finance Officer

Chris May was Clerk to Speldhurst Parish Council from July 2009 until July 2021, when he became Responsible Finance Officer. He and his wife have lived in Tunbridge Wells since 2007 but lived in Langton Green for over twenty years, where Chris acted as secretary of the village Rural Society for eleven years.

Chris originally retired in 2002 after 30 years in Banking as a Foreign Exchange Dealer but decided to return to work, and a new challenge, when he joined Speldhurst Parish Council. He initially worked from home before moving into the newly built council office next to Langton Green Village Hall. In 2016 Chris gained a Clerk’s qualification, which enabled the Council to work more effectively.

When Chris is not being kept busy by his children and grandchildren, he and his wife enjoy catching up with friends and often have a mini break in the diary.
