I must give notice, under Section 87(2) of the Local Government Act 1972, that a vacancy exists in the office of Parish Councillor for the Harewood Ward of Shadwell Parish Council.
The vacancy has arisen due to the resignation of Councillor Norman Taylor.
In accordance with Rule 5 of the Local Elections (Parishes and Communities) (England and Wales) Rules 2006, where the vacancy occurs within six months before the day on which the Councillor whose office is vacant would regularly have retired, an election shall not be held.
The vacancy will be filled at the next ordinary election of Councillors on Thursday 6 May 2027.
The Parish Council may choose to co-opt a person to fill the vacancy until that election.
M S Woods
Clerk to Shadwell Parish Council
Dated: 12 November 2026
