Are you passionate about your area?

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. So members need to be proactive and identify issues and gaps that really matter and how to tackle them - particularly important now that District and County resources are being stretched thinner. At Nettlebed Parish Council there are 8 seats (2 seats are currently vacant). If you would like more information, please contact parish.clerk@nettlebed-pc.org.uk / tel: 01491 614815 The next Parish Council meeting is on Weds, 6th Feb at 7.30pm - click here to see the agenda.        ...
