About Me...Di Dann

Originally trained in Hotel and Catering Management, graduating from the University of Surrey in 1974. She has always worked in North Norfolk and loves her home county. Her career move into local government came in 1983 when she became a parish clerk in her home village, North Elmham. Her interest in local government comes from her father who was a District Councillor for Breckland for many years.

In 1997, after a brief spell working for Dereham Town Council she became Clerk to Swaffham Town Council.  In 2000 she moved to Cromer, to work at North Lodge as Town Clerk for Cromer Town Council.  Cromer Town Council was very deeply committed to partnership working throughout its regeneration and in 2002 the Town Council secured European funding, EEDA funding and NNDC funding to undertake a three year community regeneration programme for the town.  In September 2004 the Town Council also secured its Quality Status accreditation – the first town in Norfolk to do this.  She joined Holt as Town Clerk in September 2005.

Di is a qualified tutor and works for the County Training Partnership of the Norfolk Association of Parish and Town Councils as a trainer for the Clerk’s Cilca qualification.  She obtained the AQA (the predecessor of the Cilca) qualification in June 2004.

In her spare time she enjoys looking after her two black labs and the “gorgeous” Lilli a three year old Alsatian.
