Following an uncontested election, 8 Councillors were automatically elected to Telscombe Town Council. At the Annual Council meeting on 17th May 2023, three people were co-opted onto Telscombe Town Council, but one has since resigned. One person was co-opted at our Council meeting on 19th March 2025, another resigned in April 2025 and another was co-opted in May 2025. We therefore currently have 1 casual vacancy (following the resignation of a Councillor) and 1 ordinary vacancy (not filled at the May 2023 election) at the end of June 2026.
