Ockham Parish Councillor Vacancy
Ockham Parish Council currently has a vacancy for a Parish Councillor to be co-opted on to the Parish Council.
As a Councillor you can become a voice for your community and affect real change. Parish Councils are the most local part of the democratic system. We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have an interest or experience in delivering projects or would like to be involved in highway matters for the Community. Other areas the Parish Council is involved with are on planning matters and climate change. We have secured some funding for an exciting community project and there is an opportunity to be involved from the outset.
To be eligible you need to be:
- 18 years of age an elector of the parish or
- Resided or rented in Ockham for the past 12 months or
- Principal place of work in the parish or
- Live within three miles of the parish boundary
The Parish Council Meetings are held once a month normally on the first Tuesday of the month in the evening and you would have an opportunity to contribute on matters of local interest on the Agenda. You would also be expected to progress tasks and feedback.
We would be pleased to hear from you if you are interested in becoming a Parish Councillor. Please send a brief resume outlining some background information, the skills you can offer and reason for wanting to become a Parish Councillor to clerk@ockhamparishcouncil.gov.uk
If you would like to have a chat with someone about this voluntary role then please include your telephone number and the Chair will be in contact or you may wish to attend a Parish Meeting as an observer.
We are inviting expressions of interest by 8th April 2022.
