Stamford Town Council currently has four vacancies – two in St John’s Ward and two in All Saints’ South Ward.

We’re looking for enthusiastic members of the community who are keen to put themselves forward. These positions will be filled through co-option, meaning the seats are appointed rather than elected.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences, especially those bringing fresh ideas and a desire to help shape positive change.

Application forms and full eligibility criteria can be found below, or collected in person from the Town Hall on St Mary’s Hill.

The deadline for applications is 16 January at midday, and co-option candidates will be considered at the Full Council meeting on 26 January.

Get involved – help represent and shape your community!
