Posted on May 15, 2026May 16, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

The vacancy on Wraysbury Parish Council has been filled by Olly Sanders in an uncontested election (i.e. there was only one nomination for one vacancy – therefore there was no need for an election to be held).

The official RBWM Notice can be found here

The next Wraysbury Parish Council election is scheduled for 6th May 2027 (subject to sufficient nominations being received)

A Wraysbury Parish Council election date – Thursday June 11th has been confirmed by RBWM.  There is one vacancy for one year.  The term ends in May 2027.

IMPORTANT: Nominations close at 4.00pm on Thursday 14th May.

There is an opportunity for a by-election to fill a vacancy on Wraysbury Parish Council.  The official notice on the RBWM elections web page is here.

For any successful candidate, the time in office is less than a year (until May 2027) – when the usual four year term ends.

Some current big issues are –

  • ‘Do we keep the Hub’ (the former Baptist Church – located in Wraysbury High Street and used as a community building)?
  • Why has the Wraysbury Drain not been fixed?
  • What happened to the RTS and DHEFIM projects?

P.S. For those who signed – Thank you for your election request signatures.
