Become a councillor

There are currently two vacancies on the Scotter Parish Council; following an uncontested election on 4th May 2023.

We would encourage anyone interested in becoming a Parish Councillor to stand for co-option whenever the opportunity arises. 

Being a Parish Councillor is a voluntary, unpaid position, and during your period of office you would be expected to attend a meeting once a month as a minimum requirement. Beyond regular parish council meetings, Parish Councillors can get as involved as they wish in parish affairs and there are always opportunities for keen Councillors to develop and lead on their own projects or ideas to benefit the parish.
