Become an Oakham Town Councillor: Seize the Opportunity!
Oakham Town Council is seeking passionate residents to step forward and fill four vacancies.
This is a chance for individuals committed to making a real difference in their community, particularly given the recent departures of two councillors.
The recent resignation of Linda Chatfield and the passing of Mr. Paul Buxton have left essential roles open for dedicated community members.
As outlined in the Local Government Act 1972, if ten electors from the North East Ward quickly come together to request an election by 7 February 2025, an election will be held. If not, the council can appoint new members through co-option.
Why Consider Co-option?
If you’re eager to contribute sooner rather than later, co-option might be the perfect route for you.
Two vacancies can be filled by co-option.
Interested individuals are encouraged to reach out to Oakham Town Council directly.
