At our last Parish Council meeting, Colin Harrison announced that he is stepping down from the council. Colin has served on the council for many years and has offered a huge amount of his time and energy in helping with a wide range of developments and activities in our parish. He has always been a thoughtful and positive contributor to council meetings and discussions.
This means that there is now a Vacancy on Warcop Parish Council. If you might be interested, please see the notice below:
