INFORMATION BOARD
Is dog waste and litter a problem in our villages?
We have a number of waste bins located around the Parish - the latest suggestion is to put another one in the vicinity of Little Silver. Fill in the survey below - a chance to share your thoughts and have a say! www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/KBPFLQH Closing date 25th October 2020 Do you have what it takes to be a Parish Councillor and represent the West & Middle Chinnock local Residents?
A casual vacancy is now open for a new Member to join the existing team of Councillors on the Parish Council and needs to be filled by what is called “co-option” (In basic language this means – there is no election.) Recognised as one of the most pro-active Parish Councils in the South Somerset area, West & Middle Chinnock Parish Council is definitely not JK Rowling’s BBC adaption of The Casual Vacancy in the fictional Parish of Pagford. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Casual_Vacancy_(miniseries), We are vibrant and forward thinking and keen to co-opt a hands on Parish Council Member with a passion for supporting all of our local community. If you are interested in joining, please contact the Clerk for an informal chat. Kim Duller, Clerk 07957 358431 kdullerpheme@gmail.com Closing date: 25th October 2020
