Parish Council Elections 2023

Saturday May 6, the date for the Coronation of King Charles, is not the only important one for the month, because 2 days prior to the London event is election day for local parish and town councils, when local residents have opportunity to take steps to become involved in the affairs of their area by putting their name forward for their local council.

The message for Thursday May 4 is "Make a change, become a councillor" with residents being asked are they passionate about their community and do they want to help make a long-standing change or have concerns about a specific issue and want to do something about it.

The countrywide message going out to all residents aged 18 or more years underlines the importance of getting people interested in the future of their parish and giving them an opportunity to have a say on the future of their area.

Although the elections are not until May 4th, nomination papers must be submitted to your District Council by 4pm on Tuesday 4th April so you don't have long to think about it. If you miss this deadline, you will have to wait 4 years for another opportunity unless a councillor resigns in the meantime. Don't wait: Make a change NOW - become a Parish Councillor.
