Councillors can help our community to decide its own future and make Much Wenlock a better place in which to live and work. Â They help to manage the Council’s business, help improve the green spaces and facilities the community enjoys, and help to conserve the wonderful history of the town. Â They actively help shape future service provision and other public services.
Other than meeting the requirements to be eligible to become a councillor you do not have to have any other qualifications. All you need is to be passionate about making Much Wenlock a better place to live and work and strive towards that goal. Training is not compulsory but is available and is extremely beneficial. The Town Council has a training budget and councillors are encouraged to attend appropriate training courses. Councillors also benefit from the expertise of a qualified Town Clerk who offers advice and guidance.
