Dispensations

Councillors

The Council comprises seven members and is advised and supported by the Clerk. Of the seven seats, we have six filled and there are currently four elected Councillors with two co-optees. Councillors' names and contact details are shown in the table below. 

Councillors are always pleased to hear from members of the community - if you would like to raise an issue please contact one of them via their emails listed below.

The Council takes probity seriously and works to a Code of Conduct - this is available to view on the left of this page. in order to avoid conflicts of interest, whenever a member is elected, re-elected or co-opted they must declare any financial or similar interests that they have.

There is a Register of Interests for all councillors. When a Councillor has declared an interest in a matter related to Council business they are normally unable to participate in any associated debate and decision-making. However, in some circumstances Councillors are eligible to seek a written dispensation which, if granted, enables her or him either to just participate in discussion or to participate in decision-making too.

Each year, at the Annual Meeting of the Council held in the Spring, the members elect a Chair and Vice-Chair. The current Chair is Cllr Smith and the Vice-Chair is Cllr Sellars. If you wish to contact any member of the Council please use the email below. If it is more urgent please contact the Clerk and leave a message on her answering machine and she will get back to you asap. Thank you
