VACANCY
Some facts about parish councillors
The best way to find out what it’s like to be a parish or town councillor is to talk to someone who’s doing it now. Below are names and contact details of the current clerk and councillors - please contact any of these people for information.
They receive no financial reward as the law forbids it.
To stand for election to a parish or town council, you must:
• be a UK citizen
• be at least 18 years old
• not be the subject of any bankruptcy order.
To be eligible to stand for election for a particular parish council you must:
• be an elector of the parish or town or in the past 12 months have occupied land or other
premises in the parish or town (as owner or tenant) or work in the parish or town (as your
principal or only place of work) or live within three miles of the parish boundary
In this case you may be co-opted rather than elected. Call 673388 for details
