Would you like to be a Sawston Parish Councilor?

Today we have three vacancies to fill, and there has never been a better time to join us as we need to design and build a new sports/social pavilion at Lynton Way, consider how to make the High Street safer for all users, and look at making the whole village area a 20MPH zone. As well as helping on these specific issues, councillors are responsible for many aspects of village life including commenting on planning applications.

●     Be a British citizen, an eligible Commonwealth citizen, a citizen of the Republic of Ireland, a qualifying EU citizen or an EU citizen with retained rights.
