Resignation of Parish Councillor
26
Please find attached the Notice of Vacancy in the office of Councillor for Broadwell Parish Council.
Councillor Georgina Thorley is standing down from the parish council due to other commitments.
This means there are now currently two seats vacant on the parish council. If you or anyone you know
is interested in the village, community affairs and projects, and would like to fill these spaces, please contact the clerk
in the first instance at clerk@broadwellpc.org
We ask that you attend parish meetings and donate whatever time you have available with no pressure, to ongoing village projects. The parish council only meet every six weeks to discuss and agree on parish matters.

Cotswold District Council Covid Business Update
Hello, I’m Councillor Tony Dale, Cabinet Member for Economy and Transformation. As summer draws to a close, I hope it has been an enjoyable and successful one for you. In particular, I hope businesses in the retail and hospitality sectors have been able to make up some of the lost ground from the lockdown earlier in the year. Case numbers are still high, so it’s important we all play our part in keeping the virus under control. The latest guidance for business on the link below.
There is a lot of support out there for businesses and the wider economy and some of these initiatives are highlighted in this newsletter. Please take advantage of the help and support available if you feel it will be of value to you and your business.
It has been heartening to hear about many new businesses starting up in the District in recent months and I’m sure this is a trend that will continue. As ever, if there is anything we can help with, please get in touch.
