Could you be a Councillor?

Westfield Parish Council has, at the time of writing this, two vacancies for Councillor. We have capacity for 11 Councillors and 9 of the current councillors have put themselves forward for re-election.

As a result, there was no election in Westfield and a person that would be interested in taking on the role would be co-opted rather than elected.

We would like to offer our grateful thanks to Bryan Wallbridge, who was Chair of the Environment and Development Committee and Vice Chair of the Parish Council for many years, for all his help with the work of the Parish Council. Cllr Lesley Mansell has also left us and our thanks go to her for her contribution to Westfield’s journey during her time with us.

If you are interested and would like a chat about what being a Councillor entails, please contact the Clerk to the Parish Council on Monday to Thursdays 9-2pm on 01761 401669. Or, simply write to the Parish Council, The Oval Office, Cobblers Way, Westfield BA3 3BX or email council@ westfieldparishcouncil.co.uk with some brief information about yourself and what inspires you to be a Parish Councillor.

It is not necessary to be qualified in any particular area and, for balance, we particularly welcome young adults. We are looking for a local person with the desire to represent and improve our community. Why not look at our website, www.westfieldparishcouncil.co.uk, to find out more about what we do. We hope to hear from you.
