Vacancies

There is currently one vacancy on Shepton Montague Parish Council.  If you are interested in making a difference in your community, or for any enquiries about this, please contact the clerk. Please access the current vacancy notice which is in place..

While many councillors stand for election and are voted in, some are co-opted onto their council to fill the vacant seats resulting from a shortage of candidates at election time.
