Drop the recording into ClerkDesk on your way home. We do the slow part.
Read the draft, fix anything that needs it, and it's ready for the minute book.
Upload your recording and get a friendly first draft in your council's usual format, with resolutions, finance and actions all in their place. You always have the final word.

We know the role. Part-time hours, often unsociable ones, and the full legal weight of the council's public record resting on your shoulders. It's a lot to carry, usually alone.
ClerkDesk was built to lift the repetitive part of that load: quietly, carefully, and without ever taking the decisions out of your hands.
Built alongside working parish clerks, with a great deal of respect for the job.
Tick off where your council stands, and we'll show what's left to sort before year-end. No pressure, no card.
