Burton Bradstock Parish Council Meeting        

Wednesday 26th March 2003

Please note that this meeting is an early APRIL meeting of the Parish Council.

Do you want to be a Parish councilor?

As you may be aware, the Parish Council is up for renewal on May 1st 2003.  As we have only 5 or 6 current councilors re standing there will be no election.  We have vacancies for 9 councilors, so if you do want to be involved you can still be co-opted onto the Parish Council after the 1st May. If you are interested, please contact Fel Moore (clerk) on 01308 459001 or any Parish Councilor.
