There will be Local Council Elections on Thursday 6th May 2021.
If you are interested in Standing as a Parish Council you will need to visit the Electoral Commissioners website . There you will need to search for Parish & Town Councils Nomination packs or use the link below. On this page you will be able to download the Guidance for Candidates along with Nomination Pack. You will need to ensure that you have ALL the relevant documents downloaded. Once you have downloaded you will need to print off the documents and complete them. Once you have them completed you will need to get them proposed and seconded before delivering them to The Shirehall in Shrewsbury. They must be delivered by HAND. These are the rules of the Electoral Commission .
When you are ready to deliver your nomination to The Shirehall you will need to book a time slot for them to be checked. Staff will check your application when you hand it in to ensure that it is in order. If any changes need to be made to the papers you will need to be there to make the changes or will have to return at a later time with the corrected papers.
Please ensure that you do this in good time to ensure that your papers are able to be entered in the Local Election process.
