The timetable for the by-elections for Pakefield Ward and St Margarets East Ward has been published.
Nominations will open on Thursday 25 January 2024. All details will be available on the East Suffolk Council website.
If you are interested in standing for the position of Town Councillor, further details on what the role entails can be found on our website.
Lowestoft Town Council is seeking an external evaluation consultant to undertake the evaluation for the Lowestoft Town Hall project. This major project will restore a Grade II listed public building, and includes an extensive heritage engagement activity programme. Key outcomes for the project include the economic regeneration of the area.
An external evaluator is sought who is experienced in the fields of arts, community, and heritage and evaluating Heritage Fund projects and ideally is familiar with local government processes.
The evaluation contract will run for a period of five years, i.e. the lifetime of the delivery project plus three years' live running, and will deliver two 'mid-term' reviews to monitor the programme's progress against its intended outcomes. At the end of the project, a final evaluation report is required that examines the extent to which the vision, aims and outcomes have been achieved, and develops lessons learnt for future programmes.
To register an interest and to receive the full specification and supporting documents, please contact admin@lowestofttowncouncil.gov.uk
Deadline for applications: 9th February 2024, 12noon
