Muston Parish Councillors.
Parish councils were formed in England under the Local Government Act 1894 to take over local oversight of civic duties in rural towns and villages. The term of office of a parish councillor is four years, and councils are elected en bloc. Where a vacancy occurs during the term of a parish council, it may be filled by either election or cooption. Elections only occur if, following the advertisement of the vacancy for 14 days, 10 electors send a written request to the returning officer. If no request is received, the parish council will be required to fill the vacancies by co-option.
