Your Parish Councillors
The Parish of Pitminster has eight Councillors who are generally elected every four years. In the event that a vacancy should arise between election years then the vacancy is filled either by an election process, if enough prospective candidates come forward, or, as is generally the case with our small council, by co-option when following any expressions of interest the current members vote for the candidate of their choice and by a process of elimination elect a candidate by a clear majority to become a member.
