So, What’s it Like to be a Parish Councillor?

Have you ever wondered what parish councillors actually do, why they get involved, or whether it's something you might like to do yourself?

- In May 2027, there will be elections to a new parish council for central St Albans -

Come along to this informal and welcoming community meeting to hear directly from serving parish councillors about their experiences. We have four parish councillors who will talk about the challenges and rewards of the role, and the difference they can make in their local communities.

The meeting begins with a short introduction, then each councillor will share their experiences. There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, share your thoughts and join in the discussion. 

Speakers include David Yates, St Stephen Parish Councillor; Tm Finnis, Redbourn Parish Councillor; Hilary Brazier, Colney Heath Parish Councillor – together with Chris Brazier, former Colney Heath Parish Councillor, Tony Lillico, London Colney Parish Councillor and David Mitchell, Redbourn Parish Councillor joining the panel for Q & A.

Whether you've considered becoming a parish councillor or have never given it a thought, we'd love you to come along to find out more. Everyone is welcome!

Note: we have limited seating  (it's a small venue)  - so please book NOW to reserve your seat.
