For many reasons, Councillor Trudy Boyle decided that it was time for her to tender her resignation at last night’s Parish Council meeting – she will be sorely missed.  So we are on the hunt for a new councillor, possibly from Cotebrook as we are under-represented there.

What does being a Parish Councillor involve?

• Let’s start with time – the time spent in PC meetings – 11 per annum at an average of 2 hours per meeting
• Your commitment to helping the community evolve, talking to parishioners and putting forward issues that need to be resolved
• Getting involved in planning and development, ensuring that planning applications fall into the Parish Plan and, soon, our Neighbourhood Development Plan
• Ensuring that our assets are looked after – we have more than you imagine
• Representing your community in what is, genuinely, the first tier of government
