PARISH COUNCIL VACANCIES- YOUR VILLAGE NEEDS YOU!

The Parish Council are a team of volunteers responsible for maintaining local services and facilities on behalf of parish residents, with an overall responsibility to help support the local community. Is this something you would like to be part of?

The council can now fill these vacancies by co-option, which is a process whereby the council considers applications from interested persons and can then select suitable candidates to fill these vacancies.
