New custos of Clarendon hits the ground running

THE new custos rotulorum of Clarendon Edith Chin has got off to a fast start, touring several communities and institutions and meeting justices of the peace.

Chin has pledged to “use what is good about the parish to fix what is wrong”, and through combined efforts, work towards a more resilient parish with thriving residents.

“My mission is to enhance our community engagement, support impactful development projects, and fortify our readiness for any challenges that may arise.

“Transparency, integrity, and fairness will be the cornerstones of my tenure as we strive to build a future where every community member can be empowered and inspired to collaborate with each other and thrive,” said Chin during her official installation ceremony held last Thursday at Empowerment Park in the parish.

Chin said she is mindful of the footsteps that she must follow, noting that the legacy of her predecessor will help to guide her path.

She has replaced William Shagoury who served as custos rotulorum of Clarendon for 13 years, from August 1, 2011 to March 7, 2024.
