If you haven't put your postal vote in a post box yet, and are worried it might not reach us on time, you can deliver it to either the district council house today and tomorrow between 9am and 5pm, or any polling station, between 7am & 10pm tomorrow (4 July 2024).

Please be aware however, that you will have to complete a form if you drop you postal vote off in person, and you can't just leave it or put it through our council house letter box. Filling in a form is a legal requirement and our staff have to ask you to complete it.

Our team will work as fast as we can to serve you, however there may be a short wait at busy times. Thank you for your patience and understanding - we really appreciate it.

Community governance review

Longdon

Longdon is situated midway between Lichfield and Rugeley. Key settlements include Longdon Green, Longdon (Brook End), Upper Longdon and Gentleshaw.

Consultation response

The Parish Council has previously passed a resolution requesting that the District Council consider reducing the size of the Parish Council from 11 Members to 9 Members.

Recommendation

That Longdon Parish Council be reduced from 11 councillors to 9 councillors.

Reason

It is considered a smaller council is appropriate given the population of the parish and will:

address difficulties experienced when filling vacancies
make it easier to achieve a quorum

As such the recommendation will contribute towards effective and convienient local governance.
