The 9 councillors representing Holt and 2
councillors representing Furzehill take an active interest in the local
community. They represent the local people and if necessary work in partnership
with them and others. Elections were held in May 2024 for a 5 year term of
office. Casual vacancies will be filled by co-option.
The administrative work of the Parish Council is carried out by the Parish Clerk, Lisa Goodwin, a part-time employee, to whom problems, concerns and suggestions may be referred.
Individual Parish Councillors are also always pleased to help directly if they possibly can.
We currently have one vacancy for a Parish Councillor to represent the Furzehill Ward.
Please note, it is essential that any person co-opted is (i) qualified to be a member of the Parish Council; and (ii) is not disqualified. The qualifications and disqualifications are explained in https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/guidance-candidates-and-agents-local-government-elections-england/what-you-need-know-you-stand-a-candidate/qualifications-and-disqualifications-standing-election Once co-opted you will need to sign a declaration of interest form and abide by the Council’s Code of Conduct.
Councillors are required to record possible financial interests which they or their spouses may have in a Public Register of Disclosable Pecuniary Interests. Councillors must record such interests on a form and disclose such interests at meetings of the Council and its Committees.
