Prospective Councillors
Are you up for a challenge?
How well do you know your community?
Could you represent local people?
What can you bring to local democracy?
The next District Council elections will be held in May
2015 and now is the time to discover your potential. Against
the backdrop of reduced local government funding and plans to
devolve more powers to councils and neighbourhoods, and give
communities a decision-making role in planning and housing matters,
Councillors will play a key role in shaping their local communities
over the next few years.
You don’t need to be a member of any political party – but you
do need a genuine interest in what happens in the Dover
District. Councillors come from all walks of life, age groups
and backgrounds, so don’t rule yourself out just because you think
you don’t fit the usual Councillor ‘mould’.
Read through the
information in our Prospective Councillor Pack to find out more
about the role of a Councillor, the work of Dover District Council
and how to stand for election.
