There are currently three vacancies to be filled by co-option on Ludgvan Parish Council, one in the Lelant Ward and two in the Crowlas Ward. (Applicants need not live in the actual Ward – see the ‘small print’ below).
The council will fill these vacancies by co-option, which is a process where the council considers applications from interested people and can then select someone to fill the seat.
We need people from all backgrounds and experiences to put themselves forward for this role. The role of a Parish Councillor is to represent the interests of the whole community and to take an active role in the decision-making process. You don’t need any specific experience or qualifications, bring your life experiences, everyday skills and commitment to people and the local community.
Applications should be made in writing to Louise Clifton, Parish Clerk, by email to: clerk@ludgvan.org.uk The application form is available online at: https://www.ludgvan.org/application-form-for-co-option-onto-the-parish-council/ Application forms should be submitted by midday, Monday 11 November 2024.
The Parish Council will consider all applications at its next scheduled meeting, following receipt of applications. Applicants will have the opportunity to give a short introduction about themselves if they wish to.
Ludgvan Parish Council meetings are currently held at 6.45pm on the second Wednesday of each month. Find out more about the work of the council on the website: www.ludgvan.org
