March 2024
Four of the 10 Parish Councillors resigned in January, one having moved away and two following the Code of Conduct Panel Hearing. It leaves the Parish Council with six members and so it needs to recruit replacements.
Elmbridge Borough Council was informed of all these resignations by February 6, when it issued a “Notice of Vacancy” which declared that an election to fill the vacancies would be held if, within 14 working days, a request for an election signed by 10 electors was received by the Returning Officer at Elmbridge.
As a request for an election has been submitted, it will take place on Thursday May 2 and be run by Elmbridge Borough Council. If four or fewer candidates stand, they will be declared “elected without a poll” but if five or more stand, there will be a full poll. News on this will be publicised on the Elmbridge and Parish Council websites.
