Notice of Casual Vacancy – Berinsfield Parish Council
Notice of a casual vacancy on the Parish Council
Published: 13 November 2026
Berinsfield Parish Council wishes to inform residents that a casual vacancy has arisen in the office of Parish Councillor.
The vacancy was formally declared on 12 November 2026 in accordance with Sections 85 and 86 of the Local Government Act 1972.
As the vacancy has arisen within six months of the next ordinary Parish Council elections, scheduled for Thursday 6 May 2027, the usual arrangements for holding a by-election do not apply.
However, the Parish Council has the option to fill the vacant position through co-option, which allows an eligible member of the community to be appointed as a Parish Councillor for the remainder of the current term.
The formal Notice of Casual Vacancy is available to view below and will also be displayed on the Parish Council’s public noticeboards.
If you would like to apply to be considered to become a member of Berinsfield Parish Council or for further information, please contact the Parish Clerk at clerk@berinsfield-pc.gov.uk.
