The next Full Eye Town Council meeting is next Wednesday 23^rd June at 7:30 pm at Eye Town Hall.

This is the first face-to-face meeting held by the Town Council since the pandemic started, previous meetings had been held by Zoom.  The permission to hold remote meetings have now expired so the Council needs to conduct their meetings in person.

As the restrictions have been extended to the 19^th July, the meeting will take place in the Main Hall to allow social distancing measures to be in place.  A full risk assessment has been completed which needs to be followed to ensure the meeting is held legally and safely.  Masks must be worn at all times in the hall unless you are speaking when you can remove and replace when discussions are complete.  All attendees must complete the track and trace record which will be situated in the hall or scan the QR code which is on display.

Would you like to be an Eye Town Councillor?

We currently have a Councillor vacancy. If you would like to make a difference in your community and contribute to decisions about how local services are provided, the council could be looking for you.

The amount of time and effort you put into your council work depends on you and your circumstances.  Councillors however are required to attend the Full Council meeting on the third Wednesday of every month and serve on at least one of our working committees. This is a co-opted vacancy which means you are voted on by the current Councillors.  The next election will be in May 2023.

It is essential that you have a concern for the people of Eye and would listen to residents’ views. We need people who are ready to help whenever they can and can be an ambassador for the town of Eye. It can be an exciting and challenging role and you would also be doing this on a totally voluntary basis as Eye Town Councillors do not receive any allowances.

New councillors will receive a supportive induction into their new role and will be offered ongoing training. For more information contact the Town Clerk, Wendy Alcock at townclerk@eyesuffolk.org or telephone on 07713 196251.
