Have you ever thought about standing for election as a District or Town Councillor?

If you have a keen interest in your local community, have innovative ideas, a commitment to local people and are passionate about making a difference in the Stroud District area, then please join us to learn more about what being a Councillor entails. The 'Be a Councillor' event is being held in the evening on Wednesday 6th September at Ebley Mill, Stroud District Council. The event will be an excellent chance for any prospective District, Parish or Town Councillors to find out what it really means to be a Councillor.

Local elections are taking place on Thursday 2 May 2024, and this will be an opportunity for you to stand as a representative of your local community. By becoming a local Councillor, you can help to make decisions that have a direct impact on your local community enabling long-lasting positive changes whilst delivering on the Council's priorities.

You do not have to belong to or represent a political party to stand in the Parish/Town or District Council elections; you also do not need any prior experience or formal qualifications.
