Please see details below on what you need to do if you would like to put yourself forward to stand as either a District or Parish Councillor.  Strict deadlines and criteria apply – please see the attached documents for details.

Every 4 years, all Parish Councillors have to stand down from their roles and each of the 7 Parish Councillor positions becomes vacant.  Anyone who is elligible to stand for one of these positions can put themselves forward.  If more people are nominated than there are positions available, there will be an election, held on the same day as the District Elections.  If fewer or the same number of people as there are positions put themselves forward, then it would be an uncontested election and each of those people would, by default, have a place on the Parish Council.
