Sandy Town Council is seeking 4 new members to join the council and fill the open, voluntary vacancies that we have. You do not need any special qualifications to become a councillor (though work experience and relevant qualifications are welcomed!); but mainly the desire and love for your town with a willingness to put in the effort required. It’s not just about decision making but rolling up your sleeves and getting properly involved in community projects. We have 1 vacancy for the Fallowfield Ward, 2 vacancies for Ivel Ward and 1 vacancy for the Pinnacle Ward.
Expressions of interest are invited from applicants who must be over 18, be an elector, live or work in or near Sandy and be a citizen of the EU or the Commonwealth.
It is important to note that you cannot become a councillor if you:
• Work for another authority in a politically restrictive post, or work for the town council.
• Are the subject of a bankruptcy restrictions order or interim order.
• Have been sentenced to prison for 3 months or more in the past 5 years.
• Have been convicted of a corrupt or illegal practice by an election court.
Please reach out to [email protected] for an application form and more information. You can also pass by the Town Council offices at 10 Cambridge Road, Sandy.

The Town Council intends to select its new member at a meeting on Monday 26th June 2023, if successfully voted on they will become members of the council.
