Councillors needed in Sibford Ferris!

In order for Sibford Ferris Parish Council to hold meetings, and make decisions, we need to have at least 3 councillors but ideally 5. If we don’t get at least 3 people standing for election at the upcoming elections the council will not be able to function and a second round of elections will need to be called in June, with the associated costs. 

If you have ever considered joining the council, now is the time to do it. The closing date for applications is tomorrow (9th April) at 4pm so you need to act quickly. 

Anyone who wishes to apply to join the council should submit their nomination forms by hand (they can get someone else to take the forms for them but they cannot be posted) to Cherwell District Council in Castle Quay, Banbury. Nomination forms can be found using the following link: https://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/guidance-candidates-parish-council-elections-england/resources-candidates-parish-council-elections-england

If applicants need help completing the form or need electoral numbers please contact the Parish Clerk who can help.

It is also possible to just drop forms off at reception with Cherwell District Council, however if there are any errors on the forms they will be considered void.
