Council Vacancies – updated
6 December: As the official notice period expired without an election being formally requested, the Parish Council was able to fill the two vacancies by co-option.
In an election year when, at the May 2012 election, there had been only eight candidates for the nine seats on the Council, it was especially pleasing that four excellent candidates had volunteered for co-option.
As required, the matter was put to the vote, at a specially convened meeting of all Councillors, immediately preceding the Parish Council meeting on 4 December 2012.
7 December:
Once the Chairman confirmed that all candidates had been informed of the result, details were published here.
This is the official notice of two vacancies on the Parish Council, which was posted on Parish Council noticeboards on 4 October 2012. For more information, see Becoming a Councillor
