Make A Change – Become a Councillor

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) has released a short video starring viral sensation, Jackie Weaver, to help get more people involved in local parish and town councils, like Earby.

The video, shot in rural Yorkshire, raises the importance of everyone having a stake in their community and getting involved in their local council. Local councils exist and flourish thanks to the commitments of over 100,000 councillors, clerks, and council staff. But there is a problem. There are too many vacant seats, for example only half of the twelve Councillor seats in Earby Town Council are currently occupied.

NALC’s Make A Change campaign encourages people from all backgrounds and experiences to get involved with their local council and consider putting themselves forward to help make the council more representative of the community. If you are interested in getting involved in your town as a local councillor please contact the Town Clerk via the contact page.
