Vacancies

Rippingale Parish Council currently has one councillor vacancies.

No by-election was requested so the vacancies will all be filled by Co-option.

Are you eligible?

Under Section 79(1) of the Local Government Act 1972, unless disqualified, a person is qualified to be co-opted as a local councillor if they are over 18, a qualifying Commonwealth citizen or Euro national on the day of their selection and:

• Be registered as a Local Government Elector for the Parish of Rippingale on the current Electoral Register; or
• Have during the whole of the previous 12months occupied as tenant or owner any land or other premises in the Parish; or
• Have your principal or only place of work in the previous 12months within the Parish of Rippingale; or
• Have resided either in the Parish or within 3 miles thereof during the previous 12 months.

If more applications than vacancies are received, the councillors will decide the appointments by a vote, or series of votes, to obtain a majority decision; this will be done at a public Council Meeting.
