Councillors

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.

Lewes District Council and East Sussex County Councillor details are at the bottom of this page.
