Wigginton and Hopwas Parish Council is a non-political elected body forming the first tier of Local Government.
The Parish Council has the same status as a Town or City Council, and both are sometimes knows as “Local Councils”. As Councillors, we represent you, the elector and resident in the Parish.
The Council comprises seven members, acting rather like the Board of a Company. All Councillors work on a voluntary basis.
THERE IS CURRENTLY A VACANCY FOR A COUNCILLOR SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BEING COOPTED ON TO THE COUNCIL PLEASE SPEAK TO ONE OF THE COUNCILLORS OR THE CLERK.
The Clerk, as a Proper Officer of the Council in law has a number of specific duties and responsibilities in executing the resolutions of the Council and advising on points of law and procedure.
