Election of Parish Councillors

Because only 10 people have applied to become parish councillors to fill 13 places those 10 people will be returned as councillors unopposed. The remaining 3 places will be filled by inviting applicants to be co-opted. This invitation has allready been posted and applicants will be considered for election at the Annual Council Meeting on Thursday 19th May.
