Parish Council Elections – Important message to all residents

IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ALL
RESIDENTS OF DUNCTON VILLAGE
Please take a minute to read this message.
As you may be aware as well as the Council elections on 4th May the Parish Council were also up for
re-election. Unfortunately, only person stood for election, resulting in a Parish Council that is unable
to perform its functions as we lack the minimum number of Councillors required to hold a meeting
and conduct business.
This means that the Parish Council can’t undertake its usual work (in recent times this has included
work such as the Jubilee Orchard, annual events such as the village Fireworks etc.). It also means
that we will have no say in relation to Council decisions which affect the village such as those relating
to roads (including speed limits), planning etc.
Please consider whether you would be willing to join the Parish Council – we meet 6-7 times per year
in the evening and outside of meetings the amount of time taken is really dependent on how much
you and the Parish Council decide to get involved in (it is entirely a voluntary activity).
I would be happy to discuss with anyone who wants further information what is involved
(andrew@duncton.org or 01798 344 577). If you are willing to join the Parish Council please contact
either myself or the Clerk (Hannah-Louise O’Callaghan at clerk.duncton.org or 01798 865 189) for
further information as to what is required.
Please consider whether this is something that you could take part in!
Thank you for taking the time to read and consider this.
Regards,
Andrew Mills
