Parish Councillors
We are grateful to everyone who comes along to our meetings, to show support and make a contribution under our Public Speaking slot. Some of you may wish to consider becoming a councillor and helping us with the community work and initiatives the Council carries out.
Just to let you know, Kinnerley Parish Council has 11 elected members, along with a professional Parish Clerk. Our area is made up of 4 electoral wards, namely: -
Elections are held every 4 years (next in May 2025) when all council positions are subject to the electoral process. Where there are more candidates than positions, then there will be a public vote. An opportunity to join the council can also arise from time to time when a casual vacancy occurs, and a process of ‘co-option’ can then take place.
If you might be interested in joining the council at some stage, then do have a chat to your existing councillors, and let the Parish Clerk know so that you can be notified if an opportunity arises, and in the meantime you might like to consider this event:
