#Make a Change, Become a Councillor

Chris Brown, Cinderford Town Council

Parish and Town Councils are the heart of communities; they are the most trusted tier of government and are closest to the people they represent. If you are a community-minded person with a passion for the people, parks, facilities and services in your area, then stand for election, or make yourself available for co-option. Our Election Toolkit is in the Knowledge Base.
