Exciting Opportunity to Join the Parish Council

Do you want to make a difference to your community and be a voice for the residents of Holmes Chapel?

Are you passionate about improving the lives of those living in the village? Why not become a Councillor and join Holmes Chapel Parish Council.

We currently have a vacancy for a Parish Councillor.

Councillors are people who give their time to serve others and get involved with issues concerning the village. As a local councillor you can become a voice for your community and make real change. Local councillor responsibilities fall into three main categories:

• Decision-making

• Monitoring

• Getting involved locally

Local councillors attend to local needs of residents, local groups and businesses, make decisions on local services, collaborate with district and borough councils to adhere to local needs, and progress vital projects to invest in the future of the community.

In the past Holmes Chapel Parish Council has partnered with the community to organise the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, created a new play area, coordinated support for residents during the pandemic, initiated improvements at the Dane Meadow and purchased the Community Centre for local residents to enjoy, as well as advocating to Cheshire East about transport issues, housing concerns and much more.

If you are interested in joining the Parish Council as a Councillor please contact the Clerk for an application form. Application forms are due by Tuesday 7th April and candidates will be invited to the Full Council meeting on 16th April.

The Clerk can be contacted by emailing clerk@holmeschapelparishcouncil.gov.uk or calling 01477 533 934 or you are welcome to pop into our office on Church Walk.
