Vacancy on Neatishead Parish Council

Neatishead Parish Council would like to advise residents that a vacancy has arisen on the Parish Council following the resignation of Councillor Ben Mullard.

In accordance with the usual process, there will now be an opportunity for electors to request a by-election. If a by-election is not requested, the Parish Council will then be able to fill the vacancy by co-option.

Further information about the vacancy and how it will be filled will be shared in due course. Please keep an eye on the Parish Council website, Facebook page and village noticeboards for updates.

The Parish Council would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ben for the time, commitment and contribution he has given to Neatishead Parish Council and the local community over the years. His work and support have been very much appreciated by his fellow councillors and the Council.

We wish Ben all the very best for the future and with his new endeavours.

🌊🏠 Protect Your Home with Modern Flood Defence Systems! 🚧💧

Flooding is becoming a growing concern, but modern technology can help. Here are some household flood defence solutions you can invest in today:

🔹 Sandless Sandbags: Lightweight, reusable alternatives to traditional sandbags that swell upon contact with water.
🔹 Flood Barriers: Easy-to-install barriers that seal doors and windows, keeping water out during heavy rains. Many are reusable and customisable for your home.
🔹 Airbrick Covers: These stop water from entering through ventilation bricks, a common weak point in flood defenses.
🔹 Waterproof Sealants: Apply to walls, foundations, or floors to create a water-resistant layer for added protection.
🔹 Water Pumps: Help remove water build-up and some are even automated to detect water.

💡 Tip: Combine these tools with a flood warning system for real-time alerts to keep prepared
