Wanted - Candidates for Casual Vacancies on The Charltons Parish Council

Local councils can only be as effective, relevant and vibrant as the people elected to run it, so we need councillors who are capable, energetic and engaged – from all backgrounds and experiences to reflect their communities. Being a councillor is highly rewarding. No other role gives you a chance to make such a huge difference to the quality of life of people in your local area and to influence the way issues are dealt with locally.

If you would like to know more please contact the Clerk, Chairman or speak to a local councillor. For more details see attached notice.
