Vacancies

There is currently one vacancy on Shepton Montague Parish Council.  If you are interested in making a difference in your community, or for any enquiries about this, please contact the clerk. A current notice is in place which you can read here.

While many councillors stand for election and are voted in, some are co-opted onto their council to fill the vacant seats resulting from a shortage of candidates at election time.

• be a UK or Commonwealth citizen; or be a citizen of the Republic of Ireland; or be a citizen of another Member state of the European Union
• be at least 18 years old
