Parish Council Vacancies

The Parish Council has two vacancies for parish councillors.

Anyone interested in becoming a councillor should apply in writing to the Clerk to the Council. Applicants must outline briefly what they can bring to the Council and confirm that they meet the qualifying criteria. Applicants must be over 18 and a citizen of the Commonwealth or EU. They must either be on the electoral roll for the parish, or over the previous 12 months have lived here (or within three miles), occupied land or had their principal or only place of work here.

Under s.80, Local Government Act, 1972, persons working for the Council are disqualified, as is someone who has been sentenced to three months imprisonment in the past five years, is subject to a bankruptcy order or has otherwise been disqualified by a court.

The successful applicants will be chosen following consideration by the Parish Council at a Council meeting held in public. The Council is not obliged to appoint anyone considered unsuitable at the time.

Councillors are expected to attend six regular meetings per year and any additional meetings as may be arranged. The term is through until the next election in May 2023.
