If you are passionate about your local community, it needs you, so would you like to become a town councillor?
Councillors can make a huge difference to the quality of life of local people and how local issues are dealt with. They can be people from all backgrounds and experiences who reflect the communities they serve. This is your chance to have your voice heard and allow others to have their voice heard too.
Your town council currently has one vacancy in East Ward.
This is your chance to take an active role in your local community, contributing to the delivery of local services, shaping the local environment, enabling others, defining plans and policies, and influencing decisions.
Town Clerk Ed Humphreys invites potential candidates for co-option to your town council “If you have ideas to help make this community a better place to live, learn, work, or visit, and feel able to persuade others of their benefit over their cost, this is your opportunity. Being a town councillor is one of the ways to work with others try to put your ideas into practice for the benefit of the community as a whole.
It is important that councillors come from a diverse range of ages, gender, ethnicity, abilities, experience and other backgrounds, so I encourage people from all walks of life not to be backwards in coming forwards. There are professional, qualified, skilled and experienced staff here to help you.”
To find out more about the role, please contact us at 01686 625544 or email townclerk@newtown.org.uk.
The application deadline is midday on 16/1/2025.
GWAHODDIAD I FOD YN GYNGHORYDD – EAST WARD
Os ydych chi’n angerddol am eich cymuned leol, mae ei hangen arnoch chi, felly hoffech chi ddod yn gynghorydd tref?
Gall cynghorwyr wneud gwahaniaeth enfawr i ansawdd bywyd pobl leol a sut yr ymdrinnir â materion lleol. Gallant fod yn bobl o bob cefndir a phrofiad sy’n adlewyrchu’r cymunedau y maent yn eu gwasanaethu. Dyma’ch cyfle i leisio eich barn a chaniatáu i eraill leisio eu barn hefyd.
Ar hyn o bryd mae gan eich cyngor tref un swydd wag yn Ward y Dwyrain.
Dyma’ch cyfle i gymryd rhan weithredol yn eich cymuned leol, gan gyfrannu at ddarparu gwasanaethau lleol, llunio’r amgylchedd lleol, galluogi eraill, diffinio cynlluniau a pholisïau, a dylanwadu ar benderfyniadau.
Mae Clerc y Dref, Ed Humphreys, yn gwahodd darpar ymgeiswyr ar gyfer cyd-ddewis i’ch cyngor tref “Os oes gennych syniadau i helpu i wneud y gymuned hon yn lle gwell i fyw, dysgu, gweithio neu ymweld ag ef, a theimlo’n gallu perswadio eraill o’u budd dros eu cost, dyma’ch cyfle. Mae bod yn gynghorydd tref yn un o’r ffyrdd i weithio gydag eraill yn ceisio rhoi eich syniadau ar waith er budd y gymuned gyfan.
Mae’n bwysig bod cynghorwyr yn dod o ystod amrywiol o oedrannau, rhyw, ethnigrwydd, galluoedd, profiad a chefndiroedd eraill, felly rwy’n annog pobl o bob cefndir i beidio â bod yn ôl wrth ddod ymlaen. Mae staff proffesiynol, cymwys, medrus a phrofiadol yma i’ch helpu.”
I gael gwybod mwy am y rôl, cysylltwch â ni ar 01686 625544 neu e-bostiwch townclerk@newtown.org.uk.
Y dyddiad cau yw hanner dydd ar 16/1/2025.
