Clarification.

Ann Mattock has asked that it be pointed out that her disqualification from the parish council was for non attendence at meetings rather then for anything more serious. Ann, of course, remains heavily involved in a number of other village organisations as she has now for a number of years. Ann is one of that reletively small number of people in the village who are the backbone of many of our local organisations and they all deserve a hearty vote of thanks from the village for the work that they do, often when they also have busy working lives.

Ann's departure from the parish council means that there is a vacancy to be filled. Hopefully, someone will be prepared to fill the position.

Where are these Parish Council vacancies advertised ?

On the parish council notice board in the square. If the required number of parishioners of North Ward don't demand an election within the statutory period, (and the parish will have to pay for it if they do) the PC will co-opt from among any applicants. Ann represented North Ward so only residents of North Ward would be eligible to vote if there were to be an election. If an election is not requested in North Ward, a notice will appear inviting applications for the vacant position.
