“Thinking of becoming a Councillor?” Events for October 2018
I am writing to provide you with some information about the above events that will be held during Local Democracy Week 2018.
The events have been put together to raise the profile and role of councillors and encourage members of the public who might be thinking about standing for election to find out more about what the role entails.
The events will take place as follows:
Friday 19th October at Newark Library 5-7 pm
Beaumond Gardens,
Baldertongate
Newark
NG24 1UW
Tuesday 23rd October at Ollerton Library 5-7 pm
Forest Road
New Ollerton
NG22 9PL
The events will consist of presentations to provide more information on how one can become a councillor, what commitment the role involves and some live input from some of our members, detailing how they came into their roles and what their motivations and aims are as councillors.
The presentations will then be followed by either a question and answer session, or an opportunity to chat on an individual level with the councillors who are present.
We are looking to focus on why people became councillors – their desire to make changes and their passion for their local communities. We don’t want to use the campaign as a vehicle for promoting any one particular political party.

We have set up a microsite called Thinking of Becoming a Councillor?
https://www.newark-sherwooddc.gov.uk/beacouncillor/
which can be accessed via the main Newark and Sherwood District Council website or by clicking on the link above.
I would be grateful if you would circulate these details and look forward to seeing you at one of the events.
