Village clean up

The Parish Council and The Hawkinge Partnership would like to say a very big thank you to all of those people that took part.

Decide if you want a ballot for new councillors

Due to the resignations of two Parish Councillors the people of Hawkinge are asked to decide if they wish to have a ballot to elect new Councillors to the vacant positions. If no ballot is asked for then the Parish Council can itself co-opt any person that is registered on the Hawkinge Parish electoral roll. If you think that a by election is required, then you should send a letter addressed to The Chief Executive, 4th Floor, Shepway District Council, Civic Centre, Castle Hill Avenue, Folkestone, Kent. CT20 2QY.

All letters must be received by 6th November 2007.
