Local elections – Thursday 2nd May 2019
Elections for the new Dorset Council and parish councils, including Hazelbury Bryan, take place shortly. As far as the parish council is concerned, we have seven councillors and all these seats are up for grabs. The parish council is non-political, it just seeks to do the best it possibly can for the village and everyone who lives in it. If you wish to stand for election the process is pretty straightforward. You need to download a nomination pack from the Dorsetforyou web site. The forms might appear quite daunting but are not that complicated. The completed forms need to be delivered by HAND to the Returning Officer in Dorchester by 4pm on Wednesday 3rd April. If there are more than seven candidates for the seven places there will be an election on 2nd May. If seven or less people are nominated then those nominated automatically become parish councillors. If you think you might be interested but want more information do get in touch with the parish clerk, Malcolm Wilson, who will be pleased to help.
