Bekesbourne with Patrixbourne Parish Council

The Parish Council currently has two vacancies for the role of Parish Councillor and invites applications from members of the community who wish to contribute to local governance and decision-making.

One vacancy has arisen recently, and the formal Notice of Vacancy is available to view under the Councillor Vacancies section of this website. A further vacancy also remains open.

Serving as a Parish Councillor provides an opportunity to represent the interests of residents, participate in shaping local services, and support the continued development of the parish. No prior experience is required; however, a commitment to public service and an interest in local matters are essential.

Further information on the vacancies and the application process can be found in the relevant section of the website or by contacting the Parish Clerk.
