You will most likely know about the up and coming General Election on the 7th of May, but did you know that you will also have the opportunity to vote for your Local and Borough Councillors at the same time?
At Lawley and Overdale Parish Council we have space for 8 Councillors representing you across 4 wards: Dawley Bank, Central, Lawley and Lawley West.
Dawley Bank has been uncontested, this means that Darren Blackburn, current Vice-Chair of Lawley and Overdale Parish Council will return for another 4 years service. The other 3 wards, however, are in your hands.
