The council can now fill the vacancies by co-option, which is a process whereby the council considers applications from interested persons and can then select people to fill the seats.
If you are interested in becoming a parish councillor, please write to the parish council and include a few details of why you would like to become a councillor together with the skills and experience that you have for the role.
If you need any information about qualification for being a councillor or just want more information about the role, please contact Jen Hurford, Clerk to the Council, preferably by e-mail mashamparishclerk@gmail.com
