Market Rasen Town Council continues to operate below its potential, in part because there are two longstanding 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.
