The parish council is looking for a new councillor to co-opt on to the council.

Parish councillors are members of the community who care about the parish they represent. It helps to be a good listener and to be approachable, sharing your views in a collaborative manner to bring about the best outcomes for all parts of the community. The council needs people, who bring new ideas, feel comfortable about making decisions for the future of the parish and work well as part of a team.

If you are interested, please contact the clerk at otterhamptonpcclerk@gmail.com for an application form.
