Wendover Parish Councillor - Co-option to Council
12 March 2025
Summary of the Role
Nominations Closed on 2nd April 2025 and three vacancies remain. Wendover Parish Council is seeking dedicated individuals to stand for the role of Parish Councillor. This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in shaping the future of our village and ensure it remains a wonderful place to live, work and visit. You don’t need experience, just enthusiasm and some time to commit.
As a Parish Councillor, you will:
• Represent the local community's views on important issues
• Influence decisions that impact Wendover’s services, facilities, and environment
• Support local initiatives and improvements
• Help manage local projects and resources to benefit residents
• Collaborate with other councillors and the wider community to build a stronger, more vibrant Wendover
What We Offer
Wendover has over 9000 inhabitants living in 3600 households. It is a Civil Parish with a mix of housing types around the main settlement and more rural set houses.
HS2 has had a massive impact on the issues faced by the Parish with impacts on daily travel, noise and the local footpaths and rights of way.
Compared nationally it is a larger Parish Council with a higher budget than most Parishes. Buckinghamshire used to have a series of district councils (Aylesbury Vale District Council) that worked with a County Council (Buckinghamshire County Council). In 2020 Buckinghamshire started to make the move to what is known as a Unitary Authority – Buckinghamshire Council.
This role means you will represent this vibrant community and get to meet and work with many others who share the same ambitions to make Wendover a better place to live, work and visit.
What We Are Looking For
• You must be eligible to be a Parish Councillor (speak to office for details)
• You must be over 18
• Live in or near Wendover.
• Be willing to attend monthly council meetings and contribute to council activities.
How To Apply
Application will be via co-option to the Council - more details will appear here soon on deadlines
