Here at Rodington Parish Council we stand united in our support for our serving and former armed forces personnel.

 

In May 2021 our Council signed up to the Armed Forces Covenant.

The covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly.

To those who proudly protect our nation, who do so with honour, courage, and commitment, the Armed Forces Covenant is the nation’s commitment to you.

It is a pledge that together we acknowledge and understand that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, should be treated with fairness and respect in the communities, economy and society they serve with their lives.

The Armed Forces Champion for Rodington Parish is Cllr Tom Currie.
