Your Parish Councillors

Ridgewell Parish Council is made up of 7 Councillors.  Parish Councillors do not get paid for performing this important role.  Councillors are elected every four years.  The next election is due in May 2027.   If there are no more candidates than the number of Councillors, election is automatic.  If a vacancy occurs during the four-year term, permission is sought from the District Council to co-opt a replacement unless ten Parishioners demand an election.

A Chairman and Vice Chairman are elected annually from amongst the Councillors.  This takes place at each May meeting of the Council.  

Current membership of the Council is as follows:

Cllr Robert Steward - robert.stewardpc@gmail.com (Chairman)

Cllr Louise Beauchamp-Crane (Vice-Chairman)

Cllr Mandy Gurney

Cllr Michelle Renouf

Cllr Barry Anderson
