THE morning tea was attended by JPs Ms Beverley Hunter and Mr Kevin Hosford, and their respective family and friends who were proud and delighted to be a part of this incredible milestone.

Member for The Entrance David Mehan said “JPs are an asset to our community. Their dedication in providing this essential service is significant and for that they should not go unnoticed.

“Ms Hunter became a JP as a service to her neighbours who found it difficult to get to the courthouse for JP services. 50 years on she is still a JP and a valued member of our community.

“Since becoming a JP, Mr Hosford has most notably serviced the commercial sphere and after having moved to the Central Coast, continues to provide JP Services, more so now on a community basis.

“This milestone is impressive and the need for JPs in our community still exists now more than ever.”

JPs provide an important civic service to the community in verifying, witnessing and certifying documents to validate their accuracy.

The Service is voluntary in nature and JPs can be appointed based on employment or community need.
