2nd May - Elections

Seal Parish Council will not be part of the election on the 2nd May as all three wards remained uncontested. All exiting Parish Councillors (except Sam Kirkaldy who stood down) will be automatically elected. However after the 2nd May we will have two vacancies for Seal Ward to fill.

Don't forget the District Council election will be held across the Parish on the 2nd May.

What is a Parish Council?

Parish Councils are the first tier of local government. They deliver a range of services at a community level. There are around 10,000 parish councils in England and Wales, made up of nearly 100,000 councillors. These first-tier councillors can respond to the needs of the community - delivering the services or representation it most needs. To do this well the councillors needs to hear from the community about local issues, so please keep in touch.
