Our vacancies for two Town Councillors are still open.

This is an exciting time for the Town Council.  There is the challenge of new development planned for the Town and we are considering a Neighbourhood Plan for Eye.  Extensive building works updating the Town Hall costing £200,000 are almost complete.

Do you have skills or experience that you could bring to the role of Councillor? E.g. financial, business, marketing.

The vacancy for Councillor on Eye Town Council is due to the resignation of a long serving member and would welcome your application.

We are hoping to fill the position by way of co-option at our June meeting.

To request an application pack contact Wendy Alcock the Town Clerk or click here.  If you would like an informal chat with a current Town Councillor about being a Councillor let the Clerk know.

You will need your own computer/laptop for Council business.

Closing date for receipt of completed applications is 1^st June 2018
