One of the key benefits of SLCC membership is the bi-monthly magazine ‘The Clerk’, which is our major piece of communication with our members. As a members-only magazine, publications are valued and retained. The content (including adverts) is read, absorbed and referred to for future purchases. The Clerk is delivered directly to the clerk themselves.

Each publication is also available in digital format for members on our website featuring a click-through to the advertisers’ website.

Who reads The Clerk?

  • The circulation is over 3,600 clerks representing over 5,000 councils.
  • The majority of our members have an annual budget of £100,001 – £250,000
  • Our members have responsibility over the community allotments, parks and recreation grounds, waste bins, play equipment, cemetery, community centres, markets, football grounds, street lighting, grass cutting, public toilets, war memorials and more.
  • 94% of members rate The Clerk as ‘good’ or ‘excellent’*
    *Figures taken from the 2021 membership survey.
