Due to the resignation of Bryon Hadley, a vacancy has arisen for a councillor in the Parish of Northleach with Eastington.
As this vacancy occurred within six months of the ordinary elections, an election cannot be held. Instead the seat will be filled at the next ordinary election of councillors to be held on 2 May 2019.
The Parish Council may choose to fill the vacancy by co-option for the period until that election.

In May and June, three of our councillors stepped down from the Council. The Town Council filled the first of its two vacancies last month following the resignations of Laurie Colton and Will Rayner in May and are delighted to welcome Rob Platts and Emma Nevins as our new councillors.
Please find below the third vacancy notice following the resignation of Phil Waters. If no election is called, we will look to co-opt a new councillor in the next few months.
Kind regards
Cat Crompton, Town Clerk
