Parish and Town Councils

All Parish and Town Council seats are up for election on 6 May, 2027. The last time this happened was in May 2023. All Town and Parish Councillors are elected for a four-year term.

Information about any casual vacancies will appear on this page when available. From 10 November 2026, there will be no by elections in Town or Parish Councils. This is because the law says that there should not be any by elections in the 6 months before regular elections.

If there is a vacancy on any Town or Parish Council between 10 November 2026 and May 20927, it will still be advertised. It is up to each council whether they fil the vacant seat or not. They can decide to co-opt someone top fill a seat, but they don’t have to.
