Nominations in for new Parish Council

Now that the closing date for nominations to the Parish Council has passed, we can announce the names of those who have put their names forward for 2014–18. Three councillors have stepped down – Di Outhwaite (after over 12 years’ service, thank you Di!), Andrew Gill and Guy Weller – and the five councillors who will be elected unopposed on Thursday 22 May are:

Joan Lind
David Peters
Rhian Peters
Sarah Roberts, and
Lois Sparling.

As there are seven seats to fill on the Parish Council, the new council will be looking for two volunteers to co-opt. So it’s not too late to contact any of us if you might be interested in helping us repesent the parish and push forward the actions in the new Parish Plan. We will all be at the Annual Parish Meeting at 7.30pm on Monday 12 May in the Village Hall if you’d like to ask us more about what it might entail then.

Please note, there will still be polls on Thursday 22 May for the District Council and the European Parliament. Registration closes on 6 May and polling stations will be open from 7am to 10pm on the day.
