At last night’s Parish Council meeting, and after months of uncertainty, the Clerk confirmed that the Council will face an election next month, on Thursday 22 May. That date is the same day as the European elections and elections for some South Lakeland District Council seats.
We also learned that the deadline for would-be councillors to submit their nomination papers to District Council is now 4pm on Thursday 24 April (not Friday 25 April as previously thought).
Nomination papers should be available next week (from Kevin Price, the Clerk) and it would be great if residents who have not served the parish in this way before were to put their names forward. We already know that 3 of our 7 councillors will be standing down so it’s not likely to be a hard fight!
Visit the SLDC website for more information about becoming a councillor or you could just give Chair David Peters (015395 60671) or Vice Chair Lois Sparling (01539 731737) a ring to find out more.
