Local Elections for Parish & Town Councils take place every four years. A Councillor is elected for a four-year term of office and will remain in post unless they resign or become disqualified.
At the first meeting of the Parish Council, Members will sign a Declaration of Acceptance of Office, which confirms their commitment to abide by the National Code of Conduct.
Code of Conduct
Should a vacancy exist mid-term, and an election not be called by the electorate, the vacancy can be filled by co-option.
All Councillors are encouraged to attend regular information sharing and training sessions, to ensure that they are up to date with current regulations, advice and guidance.
Training Policy
The Council must act under the regulations of GDPR and has adopted an Privacy Policy and associated documents.
