The Reward of Being a Councillor

If you have ever wondered what it is like to be a councillor, let us paint you a picture:

The role? A Town Councillor is like a superhero in a suit, battling potholes and budget battles, all while trying to keep their sanity.

The pay? Non-existent—unless you count the endless supply of tea and 1970's 'beige' biscuits available before a meeting.

The hours? Occasionally long, especially when you are asked to review budgets late into the evening.

The recognition? Well, let's just say you might not want to read the comments on social media.

The reward? That is something priceless. Being a councillor means playing a key role in shaping the place you call home. It is the satisfaction of helping people, seeing projects completed, and knowing you have contributed to your community. It is the feeling of being connected to your neighbours and working towards a common goal of improving Costessey. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, we would love to hear from you.
