Two Town Councillor Vacancies

The Town Council wants to evolve and is keen to be more event and community focused. Without a full complement of councillors this makes the transition more challenging. 

Given recent local media, there appears to be an abundance of community-minded people who hold views on Market Rasen. Would you be interested in finding out more how you could help and make a difference? 

Being over 18 years old, a British citizen or you could be an eligible Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, or a qualifying EU citizen or an EU citizen with retained rights and one of the following:

• You are a registered on the electoral roll at Market Rasen 
• You might have lived within three miles of Market Rasen’s boundary for at least a year
• You could be the owner or tenant of land in Market Rasen for at least a year
• Your only or main place of work for at least a year is located in Market Rasen 

To find out more, contact the town clerk, Angie Driver via email: townclerk@marketrasentc.co.uk or call: 01673 842479 to have an initial conversation and/or Angie could put you in touch with a councillor.

Both town councillor vacancies are available via the co-option process. This means the vacancies are not subject to a public poll. Your application will be considered at a council meeting which you will be invited to attend and to speak in support of your application, if you wish. Council will decide by taking a vote to elect you onto council for the remainder of the current council term which ends early May 2027.
