Just in case you are interested the Parish Council elections also take place on the 22nd May. If you are interested then you need to move quickly. Application forms should be available at the Misterton Centre and should be returned to Bassetlaw by the 24th April 2014. There are 13 places available for Misterton. There used to be full details on how to join the Parish Council on their website but for some reason this information is no longer shown.
You don't need any experience, just an interest in what happens in your village. Despite what you hear around the village, there is no need to be intimidated by some of the existing members. All you need is a resident to countersign your form. It doesn't matter how long you have resided in the village or even just out of the village (5 miles as the crow flies I believe).
I would like to see more younger people on the council, the ones who will be affected in the future by changes/decisions that happen now. Another more positive aspect is if that if you don't have a job and you are looking for one, it will be something to add to your CV. All it takes up is a few hours a month at one meeting on the second Tuesday of each month.
So don't think about it, get on and do it before it is too late.
