The parish councillors are looking for new volunteers to stand for the Parish Council in the election coming up on Thursday 22 May. Being
a parish councillor is a great way to help out and get to know Natland better – whether you’ve
lived here for many years or only recently moved in. There’s no particular
experience or expertise required – just an ability
to attend and contribute to our monthly meetings – and lots of free training if
you want to take it up.
If you love living in
Natland and want to help it to thrive please think about throwing your hat into
the ring and standing for the Council.
The deadline for nominations is Friday 25 April and there are seven seats to fill on the council. We already know that 2 of the 7 existing councillors will not be standing again and so there are definitely opportunities for new people, probably without a need for an election to be held.
There is more information about what it means to be a parish
councillor on the Cumbria Association of Local Councillors’ website, www.calc.org.uk and the Parish Council section of this website has more
information and reports about our activities. Contact details are also there if you would like to talk to any of us about what the job involves.
Thank you for thinking about it.
