Clanfield Parish Council Vacancy Information and Criteria

Clanfield Parish Council has a vacancy for a Councillor and this can be filled by co-option

You must be able and willing to attend meetings of the council (including other meetings as a representative of the council, e.g. other councils, local bodies, community groups or organisations).  Such meetings are most likely to be held during weekday evenings but could be held during the day or at weekends.

Being a Parish Councillor – a voluntary position - is the grass roots of local government and can be rewarding and interesting work.

f)     in the case of a member of a parish or community council he/she has during the whole of these twelve months resided either in the parish or community or within three miles of it

If you have not already done so it is a good idea to attend a council meeting to give you an insight as to what the Council is currently working on and what is involved
