BECOMING A LOCAL COUNCILLOR
YOUR CHANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PARISH
As a local councillor you can become a voice for your community and make real change. Local councillors are the champions of their community who invest time in local projects and issues to the benefit of residents and the neighbourhood.
We currently have vacancies for two councillors.
CAN I STAND FOR CO-OPTION?
To stand for election to a local council you must be:
- A UK or Commonwealth citizen; or be a citizen of the Republic of Ireland; or be a citizen of another Member State of the European Union
- At least 18 years old
- An elector of the local council; or in the past 12 months occupied land or other premises in the area the local council serves (as owner or tenant); or work in the area local council serves (as your principal or only place of work); or live within three miles of the local council boundary.
This is an opportunity for you to consider whether they would like to be nominated; an opportunity to put something back into the Community. Any of the existing councillors would be happy to share with you their experiences so do feel free to contact them. Their contact details are on the Council website www.braishfield.org.uk
If you wish to be considered please contact the clerk clerk@braishfield.org.uk
