Dear all,
The Town Council have 2 vacancies for Councillors and are really keen to fill these as soon as possible.
The Council has wide ranging responsibilities, making decisions for residents on a very local level. Responsibilities include The Westwoods Centre, the Pavilion and playing field, play areas and water meadow, most of the Town’s grass cutting, the Cemetery and the allotments. In addition we spend a lot of our time liaising with Cotswold District Council and Gloucestershire County Council.
We also have ad hoc sub committees or working groups. Over the last few years these have included the Community Litter Pick, Staffing Group, Play Area project, MUGA working Group and Winter Planning.
There are certain criteria in order to apply:
1) The minimum age for councillors and candidates is 18 – this has changed from 21
2) All members are required to complete a Register of Interests document for the website
3) Anyone being co-opted should be able to confirm at least one of the following reasons (a –d).
