If you’re thinking of standing for Council, then head along next Tuesday evening, 3 June, at 6pm for a special talk about what the role involves.

The talk will be held in the Council building at 15 Seymour Street.

Warwick Lampp from electionz.com will be in Blenheim for a candidate briefing session.

It’s a chance for anyone who’s interested in standing for Council to learn more about what is involved in being an elected member.

It will cover the nomination and election processes and the roles of Council and elected members.

The talk will be held at the Council building in Seymour Street and will be livestreamed so there will be an opportunity for those who can’t make it in person to listen in. A recording will also be available after the event.
