How the Parish Council works
The Parish of Stanton Fitzwarren has a total electorate of some 200 persons represented by 5 councillors serving on the Parish Council for a term of 4 years. Any vacancies during the 4 years are filled by election or co-option. The Parish Council’s policy for co-option is for interested persons to submit a short biography of themselves, a list of skills and outside interests, and explaining why they are interested in becoming a parish councillor. All Parish Councillors are volunteers.
The Parish Council meets monthly (except August), on the first Wednesday of the month in the Village Hall at 7.30 p.m. Members of the public are welcome to attend any meeting, when the first 10 minutes is set-aside for members of the public to raise any issue. In exceptional circumstances, the Chair may invite you to address members during the meeting. If you are unable to attend, councillors can raise your concerns at the meeting.
