Queen’s Park is home to the only community council in London, giving residents a direct say in how our neighbourhood is run. If you care about local services, want to support community projects, or feel passionate about representing your neighbours, consider standing for election this May.
Being a community councillor is about local leadership. It involves listening to residents, making decisions on how local budgets are spent, and working to improve the quality of life in our streets and parks. You don’t need a background in politics to apply — local knowledge and a desire to help are what matter most.
Come and find out more
We are hosting two informal drop-in sessions for anyone interested in the role. You can attend either date to speak with current councillors and staff, ask questions, and learn what the commitment looks like in practice.
Dates: Thursday 12th March & Thursday 26th March
Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Why become a councillor?
As a councillor, you become a voice for the community. You will help manage local amenities, influence project & planning decisions, and work on initiatives that tackle the issues residents care about, from climate action to community safety. You can find more details on the national role of local councillors on the NALC website.
