Swale Borough Council - Apply to be a Councillor and Meet the Chief Executive


Swale Borough Council is encouraging local people to think about whether they would like to apply to be a councillor in local elections being held on 2nd May 2019.

An event will be held on 7:00pm in the Committee Room at Swale House, Wednesday 13th February for anyone interested in standing.

Please contact Democratic Services at the Council at: DemocraticServices@swale.gov.uk to register your interest.

Chief Executive and Returning Officer Mark Radford will be there to explain work undertaken by Swale Borough Council.

Mark says:

“If you care about the area that you live or work in and the issues facing local people, you may wish to consider standing to be a councillor. Come along on Wednesday 13th February to find out more about what is involved and how to apply.”

A councillor’s role and responsibilities include:

representing the ward for which they are elected
 engaging with constituents about issues that concern their area
 decision-making
 developing and reviewing council policy
 scrutinising decisions taken by the councillors on the executive or cabinet
 regulatory, quasi-judicial and statutory duties
 community leadership and engagement

The event will be informal, interactive and will give people a chance to speak to the Chief Executive about the role of councillors, to learn about how to apply to be a councillor, and to hear first-hand from a councillor about what it is like to be a councillor. If you would like to attend the event, or want more information about becoming a councillor, email our team at: DemocraticServices@swale.gov.uk
