Cyngor Gwynedd have announced opportunities for residents of the county that wish to contribute to the work of the Council to do so by applying to be Lay Members of two committees. The Council is now accepting applications for residents to be Lay Members on the Standards Committee and the Governance and Audit Committee. Successful applicants will play an essential role in the governance and overview of the Council’s work.
The purpose of the Standards Committee is to ensure high standards of behaviour among elected councillors and provide guidance on the Council’s Code of Conduct.
The Governance and Audit Committee provides independent assurance on the adequacy and effectiveness of the Council’s risk management, internal control environment, performance assessment, complaint handling, and financial reporting processes.
In a statement, councillor Nia Jeffreys, Leader of Cyngor Gwynedd said:
“These are unique opportunities to make a difference, to influence governance and to contribute towards maintaining standards within local government.
“We are looking for dedicated and enthusiastic individuals who are interested in public services. These are great opportunities either as an introduction to public life or to share valuable experience and expertise.
“If you are an objective person, able to think independently with good communication skills, please consider these opportunities.”
