At the Parish Council meeting held on 23rd September it was announced that both Paul Bird and Karen Smith had stepped down as Parish Councillors. This means there are now two Casual Vacancies on the Parish Council.
A Casual Vacancy means that we are now able to co-opt new Councillors. To qualify to be a Parish Councillor it is necessary to be an elector in Needham, or hold property in the village.
The Parish Council meets every two months. We are able to assist residents maintain a link with the work of both South Norfolk District Council and also with Norfolk Council on wider issues such as highway maintenance. In both these areas we enjoy the significant support of our District and County Councillors.
We would welcome any resident who cares for the running of our community and would be interested in joining the Parish Council to contact either myself, telephone 852958, or the Parish Clerk Philip Freeman, telephone number 783203.
We are extremely grateful to Karen, who has moved out of the village, and to Paul who, for several years filled the role of Chairman, for the support they have given to the Parish.
The next Parish Council meeting will be on Monday 2 December at 7:30pm in the Village Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend and to raise any issues at the public forum.
A full list of the members of the Parish Council is available on www.needhamlink.co.uk or on the Village notice board.
Andrew Major, Chairman
