IF you take an interest in the environment you live in you may like to consider becoming a parish councillor.

Covingham Parish Council currently has two vacancies.

The council has recently been successful in opening a £56,000 play park, which was an instant hit with children in the area.

For further information on the council and if you would like to be considered as a candidate, contact the clerk of the council, Glyn Harris, on 01793 534705. Monthly meetings take place on the second Monday of each month at Covingham Park Junior School in The Harriers at 7.30pm.
