Kempsford Parish Council

PARISH COUNCILLOR VACANCIES

The Parish Council currently has two councillor vacancies which we are looking to fill by co-option.

Could this be you? Are you interested in serving your local community?

Kempsford Parish covers the villages of Kempsford and Whelford, and the hamlets of Dunfield and Dudgrove.

The Council meets monthly, usually the third Monday in the month, and meetings are generally held at Kempsford Village Hall, with Whelford Village Hall as a reserve option.

Parish Councillors volunteer their time to work on behalf of their local community. If you have lived in the Parish, or within 3 miles of it, for at least a year and are over 18, you are probably eligible (please check with the clerk for further eligibility criteria). Training will be given by the Gloucestershire Association of Parish & Town Councils, and funded by the Parish Council, if desired.

For a copy of the Application and Eligibility Form, our Co-option Policy, or any further information, please contact the Clerk or see attached.

Applications close on 28^th February 2026.

A decision to co-opt an applicant will be made at the next meeting of the Parish Council which will be held on Monday 16^th March 2026.
