Published by Yapton Parish Council - VACANCY FOR A PARISH COUNCILLOR - Following the recent death of Anthony Kendall, the Parish Council has a vacancy for a Parish Councillor. The Parish Council is looking for suitably qualified and talented local people to fill this vacancy, hopefully, without the need for holding a costly local election. The Parish Council would like to fill the vacancy as quickly as possible by co-opting a new member without the need for going through a lengthy bureaucratic process. Traditionally the Parish Council is non-political, so we can just concentrate on village issues. Our remit, as you can see from the list of services on our website, concentrates on the King George V playing field, the village hall, allotments and local planning issues. We have set up a group of local residents who are working with the local authorities to try and resolve some of our local traffic issues. We also have a very active band of local volunteers working on the Emergency and Resilience matters. Let’s be honest, you’re not going to change the world by becoming a parish councillor, but you could help in our little piece of it. Your parish council normally meets just 6 evenings a year, and rarely for more than a couple of hours. Do you have skills and knowledge that could help our local community? Or just an interest in village life. lf so, you may be just the type of person we need. Please contact the Chairman (Stephen Haymes) or the Clerk (Andrew Gardiner) on 01243 859141 or by e-mail; Clerk@yaptonpc.gov.uk if you need more information on the co-option process. Please see the Parish Council’s website for details on how to apply and for the Application Form for completion and submission by the closing date for applications on the 15th April 2020. Interviews for prospective candidates are likely to be held in an evening around the third or fourth week of April 2020. Cover: Daffodils in Bilsham Lane 3
