At the end of their 4-year term all parish councillors effectively retire. Any intent to
re-stand is notified to Swale Borough Council by means of a nomination form. At the same time, any other qualifying resident of the parish can also submit their candidacy to Swale. At the close of registration the clerk is notified of the number of candidates. The cut off date for nominations was approximately 1 month before the election on the 7th of May 2015.
All nominations have now been submitted to Swale Borough Council and verified. Eight candidates were received for Upchurch which means, with an allocation of nine councillors this election is uncontested.
These eight candidates will automatically form the next Parish Council. They will then be in a position to advertise vacancies and 'co-opt' applicants as and when they can.
Therefore there is still one vacancy.
