Spotlight… Have you considered standing as a Local Parish Councillor?
Serving as a councillor on behalf of your Parish can be both rewarding and give a sense of achievement. Councillors have the opportunity to listen to the concerns of the local people, get involved in the community, have a say about local issues people care about, decide how local money is spent to improve the community, influence changes and protect what the Parish treasures.
If you feel you have some spare time and wish to service your community the councillor role may be a good opportunity to achieve that. Some eligibility criteria may apply.
Nomination papers can be sought from the Parish Clerk at [email protected] or telephone 01635 247507.
FAQ…of the month
Question – Who funds the Parish Council?
Answer – The Parish Council receives funding in the form of the precept collected by West Berkshire Council as part of the Council Tax. Each year the Parish Council agrees how much it needs to carry out its duties and to support awards to successful grant applications it has received.
