Interested in local issues? Become a town councillor

On the 12th December, Shipston residents will have the opportunity to vote for two new town councillors in a local election. This follows the resignation of councillors Mark Wildish and Adrian Jelf, both of whom have had to step down due to family commitments.

Shipston Town Council plays an important role in managing local issues and has a busy workload from giving views on strategic projects and large[nbsp] scale planning applications, to town cleaning and maintenance.

The council is made up of 13 councillors and having every seat filled helps to ensure there is a good cross section of views to represent residents.

Mayor, Ronnie Murphy, said “We are very sad to lose both Adrian and Mark and would like to thank them for their hard work [nbsp]and [nbsp]enthusiasm [nbsp]during [nbsp]their [nbsp]time [nbsp]as [nbsp]councillors. [nbsp]I sincerely hope there will be a lot of interest from local residents and that the council will soon be back to full strength”.

Stratford District Council must receive nominations by 15th November. To put your name forward, please contact the Town Clerk on 01608 662180 for full details and eligibility.
