Notice of Vacancy for Parish Councillor
The Parish Council has another vacancy following Graham Fisher's resignation due to work commitments. This is an unpaid position and involves working for the local community as part of a team of 14 councillors.
The Parish Council meets on the evening of the third Wednesday of each month. The work of the Council is organised into various working groups e.g. Finance and General Purposes, Environment and Recreation, Highways and Transport etc. Councillors also meet informally before the monthly meetings to prepare updates on these areas. The typical commitment of a Councillor, who actively contributes to the work of the Council, can be as much as 20 hours per month, including the monthly meeting.
Residents over the age of 18 can apply to join the council, as can non-residents with substantial links to the parish. The elections team at Cherwell District Council or Susan Fuller the Parish Clerk can provide further information about the eligibility criteria or via the website www.deddingtonparishcouncil.org
If you can contribute to the work of the Council and would like to be considered for co-option please send an expression of interest in writing or by email to the Parish Clerk at the address above. This should include a few lines about yourself, your links to the Parish, your interests and how you feel you can contribute to the PC’s work within the community. You may be asked to address the Council at the meeting.

'Fix my Street'

People can report problems online with location details. Once reports have been verified, the council's contractor pledges to fix potholes within 28 days, 24 hours in an emergency or four hours for the most severe category.
