Residents of the planned Cheshire West and Chester Council are being encouraged to think about standing for election to the new authority.
A detailed ‘councillor pack’ has been prepared which highlights the role of a councillor in the new organisation and the flexibility that exists to enable people with busy and demanding lives to become a councillor.
Councillor Les Ford, Chair of the Joint Committee for Cheshire West and Chester, said: “Councillors in the new organisation will have a real opportunity to shape the neighbourhoods that they live in and the lives of people in those communities.
“Becoming a councillor requires being interested and wanting to make a difference. How you make a difference is incredibly varied, you could be making planning decisions, developing budgets or engaging in neighbourhood consultation…the activities are endless.”
To become a candidate for the elections on May 1 2008 you do not have to be affiliated to a political party.
