South Norfolk Parish and Town Council Vacancies

The latest town and parish council vacancies will be listed at the bottom of this page when they arise. 

A casual vacancy on a town or parish council may arise for a number of reasons; a councillor may have resigned, passed away, or have failed to attend any meetings for six months.

The vacancy occurs on the date of receipt of the resignation notice or the date of death, although the public notice may be delayed for a respectful period. Parish councillor resignations should be made in writing to the chairman of the parish council and cannot be withdrawn.

The notice published gives a period of 14 days for requests to be made for an election, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays.

If at the end of the 14 day period the Electoral Services Team has not received 10 or more requests from electors for an election to be held, we will notify the town/parish council that they should proceed to fill the vacancy by co-option.

South Norfolk parish and town council vacancies

  • ** An election request has been received to fill this vacancy **

    The Returning Officer will set a date for polling day, and the election process will begin with the publication of a notice of election, copies of which will be supplied to the clerk.

    The notice of election informs the electors where they may obtain nomination papers and the date by when they should be hand delivered. It gives the dates by which applications to vote by post or proxy must be made. It also gives the date of the poll in the event of a contest.
