As less than 16 persons are listed this indicates an Uncontested Election for Bayston Hill Parish Council.
“The Staff and Members of Bayston Hill Parish Council are deeply saddened to hear of the death of the Duke of Edinburgh.
The Duke has served our country with great distinction throughout his life and our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with Her Majesty the Queen and the rest of the Royal Family at this sad time”.
An e-book of condolence can be found on the Royal website:

Also please note that a skelton Annual Parish Meeting has been brought forward to 27th April 2021 from 17th May 2021 so that a meeting may be held over Zoom. There will be a proposal to hold an additional Parish Meeting later in the year when coronavirus restrictions are behind us.
The slated meetings on 17th May and 14th June 2021 may also be cancelled as Zoom meetings are currently expected to revert to face to face from 7th May 2021 but Council would prefer to wait until 21st June 2021 when most restrictions are expected to fall away.
The Annual Meeting will take place on 10th May 2021 after the 6th May 2021 Parish Council Elections, it will be a very short agenda to allow for the new council to sign declaration of office forms and elect a Chairman. All other business that would usually be undertaken will be dealt with at a later meeting of Full Council. The venue is expected to be the Youth & Community Building and Car Park if maximum numbers for a COVID compliant meeting are exceeded.
I have been employed by a handful of Parish/Community Councils since 2015 and Bayston Hill Parish Council is ambitious and forward looking. There is one concern I have, that more community minded residents need to seriously consider joining the Council and help make your village an even more desirable place to live. There are fifteen seats on the council and by rights they should all be occupied - with representation right across the piece. If you have a young family it is important your voice is heard. The youngsters need great places to exercise and have fun - there is already a commitment to develop an indoor sports hall and you could help shape this. You may be interested in how the world is to arrest carbon emissions and there is no better place to start than here in your village. Your Council has already resolved to be Carbon Net Zero by 2035 - could that be sooner ? - yes with your drive and enthusiasm. If you want to know more, please get in touch - 07458 095619 and speak to me. I have also attached a file below with more information.
Shaun Jones, Locum Clerk for Bayston Hill Parish Council.
