Who are we

Your Councillors

Councillors serve for a period of five years from the full Council election (the last election was May 2019).  Should  Councillor vacancies occur during the five year period an interim election can be held at the request of at least 10 electors. If no such request is received additional members will be co-opted on to the Council to ensure the Council has enough members to undertake its responsibilities. Notifications of vacancies arising mid-term will be placed on the Latest News page of this website, the Friends of Martinstown & the Valley Facebook page and on physical noticeboards in the village.

Councillor's Register of Interests are held by Dorset Council. Please follow this link to the Dorset Council ROI page
