PARISH COUNCILLOR VACANCY

Further to the recent notice about the vacancy arising from the resignation of Neil Green, the time has passed for an election to be called so the Parish Council now wish to co-opt a new parish councillor.

Could this be you? Are you interested in serving your local community?

Kempsford Parish covers the villages of Kempsford and Whelford, and the hamlets of Dunfield and Dudgrove.

The Council meets monthly, usually the third Monday in the month, and meetings are generally held at Kempsford Village Hall, with Whelford Village Hall as a reserve option.

Parish Councillors volunteer their time to work on behalf of their local community. If you have lived in the Parish, or within 3 miles of it, for at least a year and are over 18, you are probably eligible (please check with the clerk for further eligibility criteria). You don’t need previous experience—just a genuine interest in your community and a willingness to get involved.

Training will be given by the Gloucestershire Association of Parish & Town Councils, and funded by the Parish Council, if desired.

For a copy of the Application and Eligibility Form, or any further information, please contact the Clerk or visit the ‘News’ page of our website – www.kempsfordparishcouncil.net

Applications close on Friday 15^th August 2025.

A decision to co-opt an applicant will be made at the next meeting of the Parish Council which will be held on Monday 18^th August 2025.
