Election of Councillors

Our chairman and vice chairman are elected every year at our annual meeting held in May. Parish Councillors are elected every 4 years and the next election year is 2023

Casual vacancies can sometimes occur during the period and when this occurs, the Clerk should inform Electoral Services at the Principal Authority.  Electoral Services will put notices up (or send them to the Clerk to put up) advertising the vacancy.
 
The notice allows for a period of 14 days in which 10 people can call for an election.  If so called, an election must be held within 60 days of the notice of the vacancy, otherwise there can be a co-option. (Rule 8 of the Local Elections (Parishes and Communities) Rules 1986).

Thwing & Octon Parish Council is a member of East Riding and North Lincolnshire Local Council Association (ERNLLCA)

The East Riding and Northern Lincolnshire Local Councils Association, known as ERNLLCA, is an independent body which supports parish and town councils in the North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire. There is an equivalent organisation for each “shire county” area or equivalent in the country and all of these bodies, which are known as County Associations, join together as members of the National Association of Local Councils, or as it is more commonly known, NALC.

Our representatives for the ERNLLCA District Committee meetings are Cllr David McDermott and Cllr Andrew Frost

ERNLLCA (and its predecessor organisation, the Humberside Association of Parish and Town Councils) has been serving parish and town councils, and parish meetings, since 1974. 

Through ERNLLCA we have access to relevant legal information, we are kept abreast and updated on new legislation and are able to access training and improvement through management and development for councillors and staff.
