There’s a vacant seat on Beaminster Town Council following the resignation of Cllr Julie Cooke.

If a request for an election to fill the vacancy is made by ten electors an election will be held to fill the vacancy, otherwise the town council will invite those interested to submit their details and the vacancy will be filled by co-option.

This would be open to Beaminster residents, or those that have a business in the town, and care about the town and its community.

Town Clerk Christine Bright said: “The council would love to hear from you if you aspire to the important issues relating to the town.

"If you would like more information or an informal chat with the myself or a member of the council please contact the Council Office to make an appointment 01308 863634 or townclerk@beaminster-tc.gov.uk

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank Julie for all of her help over the last few years.”
