Are you a Conservative who wants to improve your local area? If so, you are an ideal candidate to become a Conservative councillor.

Becoming a councillor is a uniquely rewarding experience. It gives you the opportunity to help your local community and be part of a dedicated team providing key services for your area.

Being a councillor is also a great way to gain political experience and useful skills in public speaking, debating and problem solving.

Serving councillors are a broad mix of people from the local community. New councillors are good news. They mean fresh ideas and fresh enthusiasm, and that will be good for your council and your local area.

By becoming a councillor, you really can make a difference to your local community. Read biographies of some of our councillors working across the country. For further infomation on being a councillor you can look at the Conservative Party Website or the Be a Councillor Website .

Who may become a councillor?

To be eligible you must be:

·         A British subject or a citizen of the Irish Republic or the EU and resident in the UK.

We are always interested in talking to anyone who may want to be a councillor either at their local Parish/Town Council or on Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council.
