Become a Parish Councillor for Claybooke Parva Parish Council

There were no nominations received from people wishing to stand as a Parish Councillor for the Claybrooke Parva Parish at the elections held earlier this month.

Harborough District Council is now re-running the election and is encouraging people to come forward and become councillors.

If insufficient nominations are received then the parish council will not be able to operate and will effectively cease to exist.
