Are you a Conservative living in the South Ribble Association area who wants to improve our community? If so, you are an ideal candidate to become a local 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 local 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, everyday people form everyday backgrounds joined by a passion for their local community.
New councillors are good news, it provides fresh ideas and fresh enthusiasm, and that will be good for your council and your local area.
