Becoming a Councillor

Following the resignations of Ed Sanders and Abi Dowman, the Parish has two Councillor vacancies.

The closing date for Ed Sanders’ seat was 11 October 2024 and the closing date for Abi Dowman’s seat was 29 January 2025.

The Council is therefore able to co-opt two new Councillors.

Anyone interested in putting themselves forward should complete the co-option form (Word version or PDF version) and return it to the Clerk – clerk@launton-pc.gov.uk.

For more information about the duties of a Councillor, please contact any of the current Councillors – or the Clerk – the details are on the Contact Details page.

There is also a good range of reading matter.

Contact the clerk (clerk@launton-pc.gov.uk) for a copy of The Good Councillor’s Guide or see the National Association of Local Councils website.  It’s a great start to explain Parish Councillor responsibilities.

All Parish Councillors must abide by the Code of Conduct and if you are thinking of putting yourself forward, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with it.
