There is currently one vacancy being advertised by West Lindsey District Council and two available seats. If the public do not request for this vacancy to be filled by election by 14th February 2023 the Parish Council will then be notified that they can fill the vacancy by co-option.
We would encourage anyone interested in becoming a Parish Councillor to stand for co-option whenever the opportunity arises.
Being a Parish Councillor is a voluntary, unpaid position, and during your period of office you would be expected to attend a meeting once a month as a minimum requirement. Beyond regular parish council meetings, Parish Councillors can get as involved as they wish in parish affairs and there are always opportunities for keen Councillors to develop and lead on their own projects or ideas to benefit the parish.
