HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF BECOMING A PARISH COUNCILLOR? If you live or work in or near the Parish and would like to make a real difference to the local community and environment, now is a good time to consider becoming a councillor. WHAT EXPERTISE DO PARISH COUNCILLORS NEED? The most important thing that Parish councillors need is enough time and enthusiasm to get things done. The Council has a strict code of conduct but a fair amount of flexibility in deciding what it should do.

At Nettlebed Parish Council there are 8 seats (2 seats are currently vacant).
