Storm Ciaran had a major impact on the parish elections. Election meetings were due to take place on the evening of Wednesday 1 November, just as the weather started to worsen ahead of the storm.
Most election meetings were postponed but some went ahead. Here’s the latest info for each parish:
Vale
Parish election meeting held on Wednesday 1 November. John Niles was elected as Junior Constable, replacing Bill Cohu.
The election for Douzenier was competitive – six candidates for four seats. By a show of seven hands, as required by law, parishioners decided to defer the election for two weeks until Wednesday 15 November so that there could be a full election at a polling station.
That deferred election has now taken place. Victoria Robinson, Richard Digard, Oliver Goddard and John Niles were elected. Use our Voter Information Hub for the Vale Parish Election to find out more about the candidates and the result.

Parish election meeting held. Becky Link was re-elected as Constable and Eleanor (Nell) Round and John Atkins were elected as Douzeniers. That leaves two vacancies so if you are interested in standing, contact the Constables.
