Would you like to become a Parish Councillor?
The Parish Council is the first tier of Local Government representing the local community, delivering services to meet local needs wherever possible, and improving quality of life and community well-being.
The Parish Council currently has a Councillor vacancy for co-option.
Would you like to join the Parish Council and help make decisions about how the Parish is run?
You can read a guide on what Parish Councillors might be expected to do (although this is very broad and covers all Town

There are a few criteria you must be able to comply with:
To qualify a person must be a British subject, over 18 years old and an elector; must reside within Hilton or within 4.8km of it, or occupy as owner or tenant any land or premises therein, or have their principal or only place of work there, and must not be disqualified from holding office as a Councillor.

If you would like to join us, please email the Clerk a brief CV and explanation about why you would like to be a Councillor by Saturday 26th June and your application will be considered at the July meeting.—
