Applicants will need to be fully involved and be prepared to attend regular meetings.

Group chairman Coun Michael McShea said: "People with professional or management skills or experience within the business world would be especially welcome.

"But anyone wishing to be involved will be fully trained."

Anyone interested and wanting more information is asked to contact Coun McShea on 01706 874607.
