Northleach with Eastington Town Council

Every four years Northleach (jointly with Eastington) elects eleven representatives to the Town Council. (The last election was in May 2003.) Their job is to look after local affairs - keeping the grass cut, the streets properly cleaned and lit, the stone walls mended - and in general to ensure that any concerns which affect people in the town are heard and as far as possible dealt with. They also try to ensure that the views and interests of the town are heard at District and County level when planning decisions come up, and particularly when long-term plans, and funding decisions, affecting the Cotswolds as a whole are being drawn up and discussed.

How is this paid for?
In order to do this, the Council raises a precept within Northleach and Eastington which is collected at the same time as the Council Tax. The 2009-10 precept will be £49062 - about £67 per year, or £1.30 per week, for each household.

What would we as a Council like from you?
If you live or work in Northleach or Eastington, we would like to hear your views about Northleach. And if you are interested in taking part in the work of maintaining and improving the community we live in, you can help by joining one of our committees (for example, to look after the Playing Field, the Hamilton Meadow, the Cemetery, the Town). Please note that you don't have to be a councilor to sit on a committee: many committee members aren't councilors.

How would I find out more?
Ring any of the people mentioned below, or come to one of our Committee meetings. We meet every month in the Westwoods Centre at 7.30pm - Caroline Braidwood will be able to give you details (01451 861499). Meetings are completely public and are reported in the Press: in addition agendas and minutes of meetings are displayed in our notice board in the Market Place.

Local democracy is like local shops. If we don't use it - we'll lose it!
