National Park Members Election 2010 – Update
The Park Authority is looking for people to stand for election to the National Park board. Five members will be elected by the residents of five wards:
- Cowal and North Loch Lomond
- Breadalbane and the Trossachs
- Callander
- East Loch Lomond and Port of Menteith
- West Loch Lomond and Balloch.
Stirling Council is organising the election on behalf of the Park Authority and their Chief Executive, Bob Jack, is the Returning Officer.
For more detail about the role follow the link below. If you are interested, then you need to complete a nomination pack – you don’t need to live in the Park, but you will need to have the support of residents.
The nomination packs and full details of the election, with detailed maps showing the wards, are on Stirling Council’s website.
If you would prefer to pick up a nomination pack they are also available at several local offices and libraries.
The postal ballot will take place at the end of June and votes will be counted at Carrochan, National Park HQ, on 1 July.
