Local
Council elections, 5th May 2011. Five councillors
retired and there were five new candidates for the election.
As there were sufficient seats for all the candidates there
was no need for an election and all candidates were deemed
elected.
Vacancy
Subsequently one of the new councillors, Simon Owen,
moved out of the area and relinquished his seat, which
remains to be filled. If you would be interested in becoming a
Town Councillor please contact the Town
Clerk.

Cheshire East Council
For Bollington & Higher Hurdsfield
These
councillors serve on Cheshire East Council. The most recent election
for Cheshire East Council took place on 5th May 2011. At this
election we were subject to new constituency boundaries; Disley
and the rural area are no longer with Bollington, but Higher
Hurdsfield is; the constituency is now known as Bollington & Higher
Hurdsfield. None of our previous councillors chose to stand in
this new constituency and so Bollington has elected
two entirely new councillors.
Our councillors hold an occasional surgery. Details on the Councillors'
Surgery page.
For the Macclesfield Constituency
The May 2010 Parliamentary election provided us with a new
MP. Details of political
parties are available.

The Boundary Commission reconsidered the layout
of constituencies in east Cheshire as a part of an exercise
to reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600. The exercise was
abandoned in 2012 after intervention by the Deputy Prime Minister,
Rt Hon Nick Clegg MP (Liberal Democrat).
