Sign returns to the Green

Following a vehicle driving onto the Green on 27th May this year, Sambourne Parish Council would like to thank Mark Regan, ably assisted by Richard Lanz, for their work rebuilding and renovating the damaged sign. Mark’s business, Keihan Systems of Redditch, are specialists in stainless steel and have provided a replacement frame to hold the sign.

Mark and Richard are both committed residents of Sambourne and are always around to help when needed. The sign is now reinstated, on the Green detailing a message from years gone by.

Parish Elections & Co-options

Parish Council Elections

Are you passionate about making a difference to your local communities in Sambourne Parish? If the answer is yes, why not think about standing as a Parish Councillor?

Parish Council elections are held every four years and the next one is due in May 2028. There are five Councillor seats available in total, three in Sambourne South and two in Sambourne North and an election will be held if more candidates come forward than there are seats.

Co-opting a Parish Councillor

Co-option is a way of appointing a Parish Councillor when no election has been called. During a normal four year term, a vacancy comes up when a Councillor resigns, fails to attend Parish Council Meetings for six consecutive months, or passes away. If this happens, Sambourne Parish Council must ask the electorate if they wish for an election to be held. A minimum of ten electors need to respond for an election to go ahead. After fourteen working days with no response from the electorate, we can advertise the post. Anyone who is eligible and interested in being co-opted can then apply. They can also expect to attend an informal interview with up to three of our Parish Councillors and the successful candidate will be co-opted as a Parish Councillor for the rest of the term.

At election time, the rules of co-option are slightly different. If there are seats available, the Parish Council can co-opt Councillors without advertising for up to thirty-five days after the election date.
