2025 Local Elections

Notice of Election 11 March 2025         Mildenhall        7 Parish Councillors
North Parish Notice of Election

Every 4 years every parish has the chance to elect Councillors to look after their parish.  We are lucky in Minal that we have a good mix of Councillors of all ages with different skills and the Clerk is hopeful that all will want to continue for the next 4 years.  This is called an uncontested election.  However we are always interested in new people joining the Council as a Parish Councillor. Sometimes Councillors leave mid-term and we need to co-opt someone to serve for the rest of the term.   If you would like to stand this time or at any time in the future please get in touch with the Parish Clerk.

For this year’s local elections you will need to complete your nomination forms and deliver them to Chippenham by 12 April.  The Clerk is happy to help you.  More information about the local elections is found on https://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/local-elections

This is the nomination pack for this year’s election  Nomination pack 2025 Election
