Could You Be A Councillor?

• IT might be the state of the nation, but then again it might be the state of a local park, community centre, school or service for older people that is making you think that things around your way need to change. And you might be the person to do it. There are 54 councillors in the London Borough of Richmond-upon-Thames, each representing their local community, all with their own reasons for doing so.

YOU could be the new talent that the borough's political parties are so keen to find. You could be the future for your local area. Everyone is needed, especially if you are one of the people under-represented on your local council - maybe you are under 45, a woman or come from one of the borough's ethnic communities? The next elections to Richmond councils are less than two years away in May 2010: now is the time for you to find out what's involved in being a councillor and if it is the right move for you.
