Vacancy for Parish Councillor

Published 9 June 2008

When a vacancy comes up on the Parish Council, it can be filled either with a by-election or by the existing members of the Council co-opting a new member.

As the cost of a by-election has to be borne by the Council tax payers of the village, the new member is most often co-opted to save this expense. However, if ten or more electors request an election, one will be held. Such requests must reach the Electoral Officer at East Staffordshire Borough Council before 20th June.

Anyone interested in becoming a Parish Councillor should contact the Clerk to Council, Mrs Sue Buxton, on 01543-472346.
