NOTICE OF VACANCY IN OFFICE OF COUNCILLOR PARISH OF ESCRICK
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to section 87(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 due to the resignation of Rebecca Counsell, a vacancy has arisen in the Office of Councillor for the said Parish.
If by 23 February, 2018 (14 days excluding Dies Non, after the date of this notice) a request for an election to fill the vacancy is made in writing to the Returning Officer, Selby District Council, Civic Centre, Doncaster Road, Selby YO8 9FT by TEN electors for the said Parish, an election will be held to fill the said vacancy, otherwise the vacancy will be filled by co-option.
If an election is called, it will take place not later than 1 May, 2018.
Dated 5 February, 2018
Further to the formal notice above - we now have two Parish Councillor vacancies in Escrick.
To clarify (as the mandatory wording above can be a bit confusing) - you don't normally need to be nominated by ten people to stand, that only applies if you specifically require an election. Normally, if there are the same/fewer persons interested than vacancies, you can simply express an interest directly to the Parish Council.
If you are interested please contact the Clerk or Chair (clerk@escrick.org / chair@escrick.org).
