What is a councillor?

Acton Bridge Parish Councillors represent the village in local decision making and support. They are generally elected by the public every four years, but there is currently a space available that we are looking to fill without election. We are particularly keen to ensure that the Parish Councillors are representative of all members of our community.

What do councillors do?

Councillors have three main components to their work.

1. Decision making – Through meetings, councillors decide which activities to support, where money should be spent, what services should be delivered and what policies should be implemented.
2. Monitoring – Councillors make sure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services by keeping an eye on how well things are working.
3. Getting involved locally – As local representatives, Councillors have responsibilities towards their constituents and local organisations. These responsibilities and duties are optional depending on the level of commitment made, but may include:
   • Going to meetings of local organisations
   • Going to meetings of bodies affecting the wider community
   • Taking up issues on behalf of members of the public

How much time does it take up?

We meet on a monthly basis for a couple of hours (followed by an optional trip to the Hazel Pear!). The amount of time spent being a Councillor is down to the individual, but duties typically take about an hour a week.

What are the benefits of being a Parish Councillor?

As a Councillor representing your community you will help keep it a great place to live and work.  You will be provided with any training required to enable you to do the role and will develop new skills and friendships as part of the team. Being part of the Parish Council is an enjoyable way of contributing to your community, and helping to make it a better place to live and work.

If you are interested in applying or want to know more, please contact the clerk to the council using the above details.
