Becoming a Councillor

From time to time, vacancies occur on the parish council and we’re always interested to hear from people who want to make a difference to the lives of people in the village.

Whatever needs changing in Great Amwell, you could be just the person to change it by becoming a parish councillor.

You may already be involved in local affairs and want to take the next step.  Or you may be looking for a worthwhile and rewarding way to help your local community.  Becoming a councillor is both a rewarding and privileged form of public service. You will be in a position to make a difference to the quality of other people’s daily lives and prospects.

As a councillor, you’d work in three main areas:

• Decision-making
• Monitoring
• Getting involved locally

This may include interesting activities including:

• Attending meetings of local organisations and groups.
• Attending meetings of bodies that affect the wider community, such as the police, the Highways Authority, schools and colleges.
• Taking up issues on behalf of members of the public that effect your local area.
• Running a surgery for residents to bring up issues.
• Communicating with individual residents.
