I have had several people querying the wording of the Parish Council vacancy notice , see below.
We are legally obliged to use that exact wording and can not add or delete anything from the official notice.
If anybody is interested in filling this vacancy please contact me first for further details and I can then explain, if required, what the wording actually means !!
“NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Casual Vacancy has occurred in the office of Councillor on the Timberscombe Parish Council.
Unless ten electors for the Parish (Ward) give notice in writing by Thursday the 18th day of September, 2024 to the Returning Officer, Somerset Council, West Somerset House, Killick Way, Williton, Taunton A4 4QA (electionswest@somerset.gov.uk), requesting that an election be held, the Parish Council will, at a Meeting to be held on 30th September at 7.30pm at Timberscombe Village Hall, fill the vacancy by the co-option of a new Councillor.
