Holton Parish Council Vacancy for Parish Councillor

There is a vacancy on Holton Parish Council due to the resignation of Andy Murray. Andy’s valued and important contributions to the workings of the Parish Council will be greatly missed.

The Vacancy has been advertised on the Notice Boards for the required Notice period and can be seen on the Parish Council website. If no Election is called by 4th November 2026 the vacancy will be filled by co-option.

Any resident of the village of Holton is eligible to put their name forward to the Parish Council for co-option. Any new co-opted member serves until May 2027 when Parish Elections are called, along with District Council Elections.

A good opportunity to only commit for 5 months and test the water!!
