Editor's note:- Tuesday 16th April is the final day for applications to join Audlem Parish Council. Below is the document recently published by APC:-

AUDLEM PARISH COUNCIL

Audlem Parish Council has 5 vacancies for councillors and need to recruit. Could this be you?

What is the role of a councillor?

A parish councillor represents the views of all residents within the parish. Their ultimate aim is to improve the quality of life and the environment in the local area by working to identify issues which are important to the lives of residents, bringing about improvements through local projects, lobbying other service providers and working in partnership with other parishes and agencies.

How much time does it take?

We usually meet formally, once a month, 11 times a year (normally the first Monday of the month at 7.00 p.m.) Councillors are also required to give time for 'ad hoc' tasks e.g. responding to e-mails and attending additional occasional meetings if you choose to be on one of the working groups or committees of the Council.

Are you eligible?

To be a councillor you must be a UK Commonwealth or EU citizen, at least 18 years old, an elector of the parish (or in the last 12 months occupied land or other premises in the parish or worked in the parish). Those living within 3 miles of the parish boundary are also eligible.

Interested?

If you would like more information or would like to speak to a current Councillor to find out more about the role, please contact the Parish Clerk Carol Bell, on 07783580406 or e-mail parishcouncil@audlempc.co.uk. Closing date for applications is Tuesday 16thApril
