Parish Council Vacancy for Gamston

There is currently a vacancy seat for the Gamston Parish for Gamston.   Any interested parties can contact the Clerk via email clerk.gamston@outlook.com for further information.

Parish councillors are unpaid and represent local residents. 

The Parish Council is the most local tier of government with a number of responsibilities, including provision and maintenance of amenity areas, maintenance of parish and common land, local input to planning applications, donations to local groups, and initiating and making recommendations to other authorities on improvements to the Parish area.

Gamston with West Drayton and Eaton Parish Council works closely with Bassetlaw District Council (www.bassetlaw.gov.uk) and Nottinghamshire County Council (www.nottscc.gov.uk). The District Councillor attends regular Parish meetings.

Role of a Parish Councillor

A Parish councillor is elected by the voters who live in the ward in which they have chosen to stand.  Parish councillors have three main areas of work, which include:

  • Decision-making – attending meetings and deciding what activities to support.
  • Monitoring – keeping an eye on what is going on to make sure that their decisions lead to efficient and effective services.
  • Getting involved locally.

There is a legal requirement to attend a minimum number of meetings and to abide by a members’ code of conduct.

The National Association of Local Councils publishes The Good Councillors Guide and a booklet for people who want to know more about the role of a councillor.
