The four yearly Town and Parish Council elections (as well as the Cornwall Council elections) are due to be held on 1st May 2025.
Parish and town councils are the most local tier of local government. Councillors make decisions that influence how the Council works. The decisions they make affect the lives of everyone who lives, works or visits the parish or town. Councillors are representatives of their community with a connection to the area, acting with integrity to make the best decisions for residents on local services in the area.
Nominations have now closed and there will be no elections in Feock parish as less people stood for the Council than there are seats. This leaves us with vacancies which will be filled by co-option. If you are interested please contact Debra the Parish Clerk on clerk@feockparishcouncil.gov.uk
There are 3 vacancies for Devoran ward and 2 vacancies for Feock ward.
The Council would like to say a big thank you to Cllrs Jan Allen, Anne Allen and Mike Steel who are standing down at this years elections for all the work they have put in since joining the Parish Council.
