WEST Devon Borough Council is inviting prospective borough councillors to attend an information evening on Monday, March 9 to help advise candidates on standing for election.

The information evening will take place at 6.30pm in the council chamber at Kilworthy Park in Tavistock. The event is part of a campaign to attract more people to stand for the council to serve their community. It will give prospective candidates an insight into the elections process, as well as an opportunity to ask any questions they may have.

On May 7, 2015, all 31 borough council seats will be up for election and the council wants to ensure that those interested in the process know more about the work of a councillor and what they must do to become a candidate.

The election process begins in West Devon with the publication of the notice of election on March 25. Nominations for councillors must be submitted, by hand, to the borough council by 4pm on April 9, 2015.
