Parish Councillor Vacancy

WETHERSFIELD PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH COUNCILLOR VACANCY
Wethersfield Parish Council (Wethersfield Ward)

Wethersfield Parish Council is seeking to co-opt a new parish councillor to fill a
vacancy which has recently occurred in the Wethersfield Ward (although as the
Council is grouped, councillors represent the whole community – Wethersfield,
Blackmore End and Beazley End).

The Council meets approximately 10 times a year, usually on a Wednesday, and the
meetings alternate between the village halls in Wethersfield and Blackmore End.
Parish Councillors volunteer their time to work on behalf of their local community. If
you have lived in the Parish, or within 3 miles of it, for at least a year and are over 18,
you are probably eligible (please check with the clerk for further eligibility criteria).
Training will be given by the Essex Association of Local Councils (funded by the Parish
Council).

Wethersfield Parish Council is an independent local authority with powers, duties and
responsibilities. It is completely independent of County and District, and is managed by
a Council elected every four years.

If you would like to express your interest, please submit a letter of application giving
brief reasons why you should be considered for the vacancy, to the Parish Clerk at the
address below by 31st October.

A decision to co-opt an applicant will be made at the following meeting of the Parish Council
which will be held on Wednesday, 11th November 2020.

If you require any further information, please contact the Clerk:
