Could You be Our Next Council Candidate?

The Conservative Party is seeking people interested in becoming local council candidates for the May 2015 Local Council elections.

Local Councillors are responsible for the delivery of local services, such as bin collections, street cleaning, planning decisions, open spaces, play areas, setting council tax, licensing, outdoor events, social housing, plus many other important local services. Councillors also have a role helping to resolve community issues and provide community leadership.

Being a councillor is also a hugely rewarding experience. You get the opportunity to put something back into your community. You get to shape and change your area for the better.

The election campaign itself is also a rollercoaster of excitement; something many consider to be a memorable and unique experience.

If you are interested in getting involved and learning how the services in your town are run, you want to put something back into your local community, or you are interested in public service, then this might be an opportunity for you. Most of the meetings Councillors attend are in the evening and many Councillors have full time jobs as well.

If you are interested in being considered for a candidacy, would like an application form or would like more information, please contact me on 01827 57156 or e-mail office@tamworthconservatives.co.uk.

Local councillors are ordinary people from every walk of life, so this is something anyone can do. We hope you will consider finding out more about becoming a council candidate.

Thank you for your time.
