Telscombe Town Council has 2 ordinary vacancies in the Telscombe Cliffs ward and we’re inviting applications from local residents who would like to be co-opted onto Telscombe Town Council.
We are looking for someone who cares about our town and can spare time to commit to the role as a Town Councillor. It is a perfect volunteer role for someone who enjoys helping their community and wants to get involved. It provides an opportunity to take part in local decisions, community events and help improve the area where you live. No previous experience is necessary – just a willingness to listen, work with others, and make a positive contribution to your community. Please read through the Good Councillor Guide which is available on this page which explains what is involved in being a local Councillor.
To fulfil the role, you need to be available to attend Council and Committee meetings which are normally every other month, apart from the Planning & Highways Committee which meets once every 3 weeks, as well as other ad hoc meetings, and get involved in Council events. If you would like to know more about the role, please contact the Town Clerk.
We invite applications from candidates who satisfy the eligibility for being a Councillor as listed in the Policy in the application pack, the competencies listed in the person specification and someone who is interested in contributing to the work of the Council and helping to shape decisions that affect the town.
If you are interested in serving as a Town Councillor, please complete and return a completed application to the Town Clerk at Telscombe Civic Centre, 360 South Coast Road, Telscombe Cliffs, East Sussex, BN10 7ES or via email to stella.newman@telscombetowncouncil.gov.uk. Applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
The closing date for applications is 5pm on Monday 9th February 2026. Candidates will be invited to speak in support of their application at the Full Council meeting to be held on Wednesday 18th March 2026, after which a vote by Councillors will take place. If you are successful, your term of office will end in May 2027.
