Dear Resident
Due to the resignation of six Parish Councillors the Parish Council now consists of only two Councillors. This means that the Parish Council is no longer quorate and cannot hold meetings or make decisions.
I have displayed the six vacancy notices within the village and notified Rother District Council Electoral Services of the vacancies. The next step is to see if an election is requested to fill these vacancies. The deadline for residents to request an election is Monday 19th August. Requests to be sent to
LORNA FORD,
RETURNING OFFICER,
ROTHER DISTRICT COUNCIL,
TOWN HALL, BEXHILL-ON-SEA,
EAST SUSSEX TN39 3JX
If an election is not called then these vacancies will be filled by co-option.
In order to continue business as usual District Councillors Andrew Mier, Carl Maynard and Tim Grohne are being approached to give their consent to be co-opted to the Parish Council. If consents are received, a decision is required from the Chief Executive of RDC to make an order to appoint these Councillors to the Parish Council.
Once an order is made the Parish Council will be quorate and meetings can resume.
Questions have been raised in respect of DISH and the PC website. I can confirm that the volunteers who run/help out both DISH and the website are happy to continue. So, see you all Monday as usual.
Once I have any further information I will post accordingly.
If you have any questions please contact me on the Parish Council email – fairlightparishcouncil@gmail.com
Please feel free to share this information
Thanks
