After a very long period of stability on Sedlescombe Parish Council with little change in membership, four parish councillors have resigned this year. The Sedlescombe is grateful for the valuable contribution of these people to the life of our Village. As everywhere, there are some interesting challenges to face around the corner and decisions will need to be made that will affect Sedlescombe for years to come. Sedlescombe is hopeful that people will come forward willing to devote a few hours each week to the work of the Parish Council. Applicants to fill the current vacancy should send the completed form which can be found on the www.sedlescombe.org.uk website together with an A4 description of themselves and why they believe they would make a good councillor to the Parish Clerk at Woodland Cottage, Chapel Hill, Sedlescombe or by e-mail to [email protected]. Applications should arrive no later than 5pm on Friday 26 October.
