Opportunity to join the Parish Council!
Are you a community-minded, independent, thoughtful person? Do you care about your village, your neighbours and your environment? If so, Wingfield Parish Council needs you!
Five residents already support the local community as parish councillors, but one more person is needed to bring Wingfield Parish Council to its full complement of six councillors.
Parish Councils are part of grassroots democracy and contribute to the well-being and cohesion of neighbourhoods by:
- Representing the local community, giving residents a voice in local decision making and forming a bridge between the community and local government
- Bringing people together by enabling residents to get involved, express their opinions and contribute, often by organising events, initiatives and projects
- Playing a role in the planning and development process by reviewing and commenting on applications so they align with the needs of the local community
- Raising funds through Council Tax Precepts, managing budgets and allocating resources to local projects and initiatives
Contact the Parish Clerk – clerk@wingfieldparishcouncil.gov.uk or 07841 024739 – for an informal chat about the responsibilities and commitment (not huge) and the satisfaction (immense) of serving your community.
