By-election – Sept 4th – Datchet Parish Council?

Posted on July 21, 2025 by ecwlarcombe

The single vacancy on Datchet Parish Council (DPC) can be filled using the co-option process since a ‘demand-for-election’ complete with signatures was not received by RBWM.

The second vacancy on Datchet Parish Council can be filled using the by-election process.  The date pencilled in is Thursday 4th September and this is dependent on the RBWM elections department receiving two or more nominations for the single vacancy.

Appropriate notices will be posted by DPC in due course.
