On 4th June 2026, the Town Mayor, Councillor Al Neal, congratulated and thanked Clive Buckland for his 25 years of service at Earley Town Council. Clive was presented with a Long Service award and a selection of gifts reflecting his interests and hobbies.
In 2001, Clive joined Earley Town Council as the Park Warden at Sol Joel Park and his role later expanded to include that of Relief Caretaker.
Visitors to Sol Joel Park and the community centres in Earley will know Clive for his willingness to help, his passion for his job, his sunny nature and general chat.
Clive continues to be a valued member of Earley Town Council staff and is truly dedicated to looking after Sol Joel Park and the Council’s community centres.
So, congratulations Clive on your 25 years of service!
