Councillors

Holwell Parish Council comprises up to seven elected Councillors who meet every two months to transact the business of the Council. Councillors serve for a period of five years.  Occasional vacancies occur if a Councillor resigns before the end of his/her term. Any such vacancy will be advertised within the village on the noticeboard and on this website.

If you care about where you live and are passionate about your community, we need new councillors to support the village of Holwell. Any parishioner wishing to stand should contact the Parish Clerk as soon as possible for further information.
