Councillor Vacancies
Who can be a Town Councillor?
Councillors are elected to the local council to represent their local community, so they must either live or work in the area. Becoming a councillor is both a rewarding and privileged form of public service. You will be in a position to make a difference to the quality of other people’s daily lives and prospects.
Being an effective councillor requires both commitment and hard work. Councillors have to balance the needs and interests of residents and the council. These will all make legitimate demands on a councillor’s time, on top of the demands and needs of their personal and professional lives.

THIS NOTICE IS TO COVER THE TWO RECENT VACANCIES ON DOWNHAM MARKET TOWN COUNCIL.
IF AN ELECTION IS ASKED FOR THEN THIS WOULD NOT TAKE PLACE UNTIL AT LEAST MAY 2021 IF NOT LONGER.
THE ELECTION WILL ONLY BE FOR THE VACANT POSTS AND NOT THE WHOLE COUNCIL.
IF AN ELECTION IS NOT CALLED IN THE ALLOTTED TIME WE ARE THEN FREE TO CO-OPT AND WERE THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE A MARKET STALL HOLDER ON THE COUNCIL.
