Every 4 years Parish Councils are subject to elections. There are 9 Parish Councillor positions in Great Staughton available for election.
Many, but not probably all, of the existing Parish Councillors will stand for re-election. This is the opportunity for anyone with an interest in the Parish and a desire to influence the future to become a Parish Councillor.
It requires attendance at about 7 meetings a year as well as perhaps a particular interest in an aspect of Parish life e.g. the playing Field, or Village Hall.
The Parish Council would welcome new Councillors, we are fortunate in having better representation from both sexes and a younger profile than many other Parishes, but we would want to maintain and improve this balance and strengthen representation from younger age groups.
Nomination forms can be obtained from the Parish clerk
Jo Russel, gtstaughtonparishclerk@outlook.com
These forms have to be completed and returned to HDC offices Pathfinder House no later than 4pm on Tuesday April 5th.
If you are interested and would like any more information, please contact the clerk
or any of the existing Parish Councillors all of whom are shown on Page 5 of Life magazine.
