Parish Councillors are elected on a 4-year cycle, and as necessary if a vacancy arises, at which stage Tewkesbury Borough Council will organise legal notices. If less than 10 electors call for an election then the Parish Council will invite applicants for co-option.
To become a Parish Councillor you must be aged 18 or over, a British subject or citizen of the Irish Republic, and either a local government elector of the Parish or a person who has (a) during the whole of the twelve months before nomination as a candidate, occupied land or other premises as owner or tenant in the Parish; or (b) during the same period, has resided in that area or within three miles thereof; or (c) during the same period has had his principal or only place of work in that area.
Additional criteria adopted by Bishop's Cleeve Parish Council are that you must have experience of, or aspirations to work in a voluntary capacity; be able to demonstrate a wish to take an active role in the Community; be able to attend weekly meetings, normally on a Thursday evening between 7pm and 10pm; and be willing to participate in the work of the Council by serving on one or more of its committees.
Councillors are expected to attend the Full Council meeting once a month and any committee meetings that they belong to. The council do appreciate that this may not always be possible. Councillors attendance can be seen here.
