Barkway Parish Council – Councillor Vacancy
Shape the Future of Your Village**
Do you care about Barkway and want to make a real difference?
We currently have a vacancy for a Parish Councillor — a voluntary, unpaid role that offers something far more valuable than a salary: the chance to help shape what happens in our village.
Why join the Parish Council?
- Influence decisions that affect everyday life in Barkway
- Help protect and enhance our local environment and heritage
- Support community projects, events and services
- Work with friendly, committed local people
- Bring fresh ideas, perspectives and energy to village life
You don’t need any special qualifications — just common sense, enthusiasm, and a genuine interest in our community. Training and support are provided, and you’ll quickly find how rewarding it is to be part of the team that keeps Barkway thriving.
What does the role involve?
- Attending monthly council meetings
- Considering local issues and helping make decisions
- Working on projects that benefit residents
- Listening to the community and representing their views
If you’ve ever thought “Someone should do something about that…” — this is your chance to be that someone.
Interested?
We’d love to hear from you. Please contact the Parish Clerk for an informal chat or to express your interest.
Be part of Barkway’s future. Your village. Your voice. Your council.
