Parish Council Elections 4th May 2023

As you all know, parish councils elections will be held on 4th May

For further information and should you wish to stand, please see the following information from Richard Adams (Election Services Manager) at Rother District Council.

Dear all,

I’m writing to let you know that nomination papers for both the district and parish council elections are now available to download from the Rother website at the following link:

www.rother.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/current-and-forthcoming-elections/

The current elections page also includes links to the timetable, Electoral Commission guidance, annotated nomination papers, and request forms for the electoral register/absent voters lists, along with other information.  I hope you find these resources useful.

In addition, I have attached a copy of the parish council nomination papers (as well as the annotated nominated papers) to this email for convenience.

I would strongly encourage candidates to refer to the annotated nomination papers before completing their own papers – they are a really good resource which will take them through what needs to be included on every page of the forms.

Please forward this email on to any of your Councillors who will be standing again, as well as anyone else who expresses an interest in standing as a candidate.

As ever, please let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Richard

Southeastern Railway – strike action

I’ve received this email from Southeastern Railway – please take note if you are intending to use their service on 16th and 18th March.
Irene – Parish Clerk

Strike action by the RMT union is due to take place on our network next week on Thursday 16 and Saturday 18 March.

We’re sorry, there will be a limited service running on our network and some routes will be closed. Please only travel if necessary. If you are travelling expect some disruption, plan ahead and check your entire journey.

We’ll be running our normal timetable on the days either side of the strikes, except on Friday 17 March when trains will start later from 07:00.

Journey planners for Thursday 16 and Friday 17 March are now available.

Journey planners for Saturday 18 March will be available on Tuesday 14 March.

If the strike action is cancelled at short notice, we may not be able to switch back to our normal timetable immediately. Rail services are built in complex, interrelated IT systems covering fleet, crew schedules and rosters and so it takes some time to get everything back into place.

Ticketing and refunds

For ticketing and refund information please visit our strike action web page. When trains are running, you travelled and were delayed for 15 minutes or more, you are entitled to Delay Repay compensation

More information

You can find full information and keep up to date on our strike action web page, follow us on Twitter, or you can sign up to receive service updates.

We’re very sorry for any inconvenience this strike action will cause you
