For co-option all you need to do is send an introductory letter or email of application to the Parish Clerk, which should contain some personal and background information to demonstrate that you have a interest in local matters, along with reasons why you wish to become a councillor and what you think you would contribute to the Parish Council.
No specialist skills are required apart from an interest in Local issues, a desire to contribute to the community and a few spare hours a week.
We are not going to change the world, but we can make a difference to the important day to day issues that add to the community and quality of life in Whitfield
You are also very welcome to come along to a Parish Council Meeting, or to talk to some of our serving Councillors and get a feel for what is involved. We will be pleased to see you.
