Would you like to become a Parish Councillor?


 

Why become a Parish Councillor?
As a parish councillor you become someone your community will look to for help, guidance and support. A member of the community with the power to influence decisions for the benefit of the parish. Seeing your community change for the better, as a result of decisions you have helped to make, is something that can give you a sense of achievement and pride. The Parish of Beaworthy is situated in a beautiful rural area of Devon with a rich farming history. The Parish Council helps to ensure the area continues to be a desirable place to live, work and visit.


Am I eligible to be a Parish Councillor?
To stand for election/co-option on a parish council, you must:

  • be a UK or commonwealth citizen, or;
  • be a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, or;
  • be a citizen of another Member state of the European Union;
  • be at least 18 years old.
  • To be eligible to stand for an election for a particular parish, you must:
  • be an elector of the parish, or;
  • for the whole of the previous 12 months have occupied (as owner or tenant) land or other premises in the parish, or;
  • during the previous 12 months have worked in the parish (as your principal or only place of work), or;
  • for the whole of the previous 12 months lived in the parish or within three miles of the parish boundary.


How long does a Parish Councillor serve for?
Once elected, parish councillors sit on the council for a maximum of four years. If they then want to stay in the post, they can stand for re-election.

Don’t take our word for it!
The best way to find out what it’s like to be a parish councillor is to talk to someone who’s doing it now. Come along to a parish council meeting, contact the Clerk or speak to one of our councillors and find out what they think of the role.

The Rural Services Network wish to highlight an article in this weeks update (this is a useful publication to subscribe to):

We will be running the following article in our weekly rural newsletter tomorrow and would appreciate your help in getting as many people as possible to complete the survey:

https://rsnonline.org.uk/suffering-from-the-rural-cost-of-living-make-your-thoughts-known-in-household-survey

The survey is being held in partnership with the Citizens Advice Rural Issues Group.

Research commissioned by the RSN last year shows rural areas are suffering more acutely from the rise in the cost of living compared to urban areas. 

The purpose of the survey is to understand more about rural household budgets at, what is, a very difficult time for many.

Results from the survey will help us to engage more effectively with Government Departments, MPs and other policy makers.

The survey can be found at the following link:

 USe this link for your nearest Dogs Trust rehoming centre at Ilfracombe with some information regarding a free service which is offered to any dog owner, the Canine Care Card which aims to give dog owners peace of mind should the worst happen to them.  





Power cut safety advice    

If you are affected by a power cut, it is the Electricity Distribution Network Operator (DNO) who is responsible for maintaining physical electricity supplies to your home or business. You can contact your local DNO by calling 105.    If you need to light your home when you’re without power, we would prefer if you used torches and battery-powered candles rather than candles. If you must use candles, follow our candle safety advice.    Don't try and cook using barbecues or using fires inside your home such as wood-burners.    Turn off any appliances that may be a fire risk if they switch on when the power comes back on (such as hair dryers or electric hobs).    If you're using a portable heater such as oil or gas, keep it a good distance (at least 1 metre) from people or furniture. Do not cover them with anything that could catch fire such as clothing.
