Please contact the Councillors via the Clerk, Ginny O'Hegarty, clerk@flemptoncumhengraveparish.gov.uk
A casual vacancy occurs if a Councillor leaves their seat during the course of their term. The term of a Councillor may end upon written resignation to the Chair, death of a Councillor, failure to attend meetings for six consecutive months without a reason approved by the Council; or disqualification of a Councillor.
When a Councillor's seat becomes vacant, a Parish Council displays a 'Notice of Vacancy' advertising the fact that there is a vacancy. This is displayed as soon as is practicable on the Parish Council's website and noticeboards. Details of any current casual vacancies may be viewed further down this page.
The Notice explains that an election can be called by a request made in writing to the Council's Proper Officer by 10 electors from the relevant electoral area within the Parish within 14 working days of the Notice being published. If 10 valid requests are received, the Returning Officer will determine when an election is to be held, which must be within 60 working days of the date of the Notice of Vacancy. If 10 requests are not received, then the Returning Officer will advise the Parish Council that they may advertise to fill the vacancy by co-option.
