The consultation is open until 31st July 2026. Thank you.

Thank you for your interest in joining the council. We currently have one vacancy that we are able to fill by co-option and soon expect to have authority to fill a second by the same process.

Please find attached a copy of HTC's policy explaining the process for joining the council by co-option. If you decide you would like to apply we will require Appendix A signed and returned along with your resume for consideration. Prior to applying we recommend you attend a month's worth of Town Council meetings to get a feel for how they run and topics for discussion. The next upcoming agendas can be found on the home page of this website. There is always the option to introduce yourself at the meetings should you wish or you can just listen.

The co-option policy refers to the Code of Conduct. This along with our Standing Orders and Financial Regulations can all be found on our website under 'policies'. Here is a link Policies - Hungerford Town Council (hungerford-tc.gov.uk) A calendar of our meetings can be found on the home page of our website. Most meetings usually take place in the Library and are generally held on a Monday evening commencing at 7pm.

To give you an idea of the commitment required –

All councillors meet for Full Council, usually the first Monday of every month and you would also be required to join at least 2 other committees, so attending around 3 meetings a month. There are a variety of committees to choose from and free training is available. Outside of meetings most correspondence is by email but there are also site meetings, civic events and hands on tasks depending on your interest. It is quite a commitment but very rewarding.

If you have any queries whatsoever please don’t hesitate to give me a call (01488 686195) and I am happy to chat through what the role would involve in more detail.

Kind regards

Claire Barnes
