EWHURST PARISH COUNCIL: “Make a Change ~ Become a Local Councillor” - EWHURST PARISH COUNCIL is calling on residents, business owners and those who work in the Parish who are passionate about their community to stand in the local elections on 2 May 2019.
WHAT DO COUNCILLORS DO ?: Councillors are the champions of their community and give residents and others a voice on the decisions the council makes. Becoming a councillor will allow you to make a real difference in your community by engaging with residents, local groups and businesses to find out their needs; making decisions on which services and projects the council should take forward - and getting involved locally to ensure the services are meeting your community’s needs.
HOW MUCH TIME WOULD I NEED ?: The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) Local Councillor Census Survey found that councillors put aside, on average, three hours a week for council work. This often includes attending meetings, reading documents and emails, engaging with residents and representing the council on other bodies. However, it can be less.
Ewhurst Parish Councillors meet at least 10 times a year, normally on a Thursday evening.
