NOTICE OF VACANCY
NOTICE OF VACANCY Oakham Town Council following the resignation on 8 December 2022 of Councillor Zoë Nealson. A person can be co-opted
Oakham Town Council has two vacancies if you would like to be co-opted, further information on the role of a Councillor and how to apply can be obtained from:
Clerk to the Council
Oakham Town Council
Rol House, Long Row
Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6LN
01572 723627 or at enquiries@oakhamtowncouncil.gov.uk
It would be nice if both seats were filled before the next meeting on the 11th January 2023.
Although the term of office would end in May 2023 I think it would give someone the opportunity to find out if they would like to be a parish councillor and stand in the May elections for a longer term.
