Should a vacancy occur between elections, the Democratic Services Officer at the Local Authority is informed. The Council issues a public 'Notice of Vacancy'; this provides for a minimum of 10 electors to call for an election. If, after two weeks, no such request has been received, the Parish Council is instructed to co-opt to fill the vacancy. At present (Oct 2026), we have a vacancy on the Parish Council.

The next elections are due in May 2026. 

NB: None of our Parish Councillors get any pay or expenses for this work.
