We are very sorry to report Paul Kraus has resigned as a councillor on Hatley Parish Council.

As a result, there is a vacancy for a councillor to replace him, with a by-election if ten electors for the parish give notice in writing requesting an election to be held – the closing date is Tuesday, 12th February 2025.

The notice must be delivered to the Returning Officer at South Cambridgeshire Council, South Cambridgeshire Hall, Cambourne Business Park, Cambourne, CB23 6EA.

If no such notice is given, The Parish Council sill fill the vacancy by co-option.

This is as announced in this advertisement.
