This year is election year!
Elections will be held on 1 May 2025 for all town and parish council seats, together with all Cornwall Council seats. For those wishing to stand for election, everything that you need to know is now published on the Cornwall Council website (see link below) including tm. Please note that Parish Council officers are unable to help with individual applications. Officers will only be able to signpost you.
