Considering being a Councillor?
If you're interested in becoming a Councillor and help make the Parish a better place to live please contact the Clerk for more information or speak to a Councillor to find out what it involves.
Role of a Councillor
A councillor is a member of the council and is normally elected for a term of four years.
People of any political or religious persuasion are eligible to become a councillor, although their personal views should not extend into their parish council work. They are elected to represent the interests of the local community as a whole and promote a harmonious local environment. The number of elected councillors depends on the size of the area, Hempnall has 9 elected councillors. Local councils are the first tier of governance and are the first point of contact for anyone concerned with a community issue. They are democratically elected local authorities and exist in England, Wales and Scotland. The term 'local council' is synonymous with 'parish council', 'town council' and 'community council'.
Local councils are made up of locally elected councillors. They are legally obliged to hold at least one meeting a year. Most meet on a monthly or bi-monthly cycle to discuss council business and hear from local residents. Meetings are held in open sessions, at which members of the public can speak. District and County councillors regularly attend parish council meetings to report back to the district on developments at parish level.
Being a Parish Councillor can be an interesting and rewarding experience.
