Caithness Community Council election results

Following a postal ballot seven new people have been elected to serve on Dunnet and Canisbay Community Council which has been in abeyance since membership dropped below the minimum number of councillors required.

As 8 nominations had been received, the 1349 electors in the community council area were sent postal ballot papers so they could cast their vote.

The votes have been counted and the 7 successful candidates were:

BUTLER, Barry Kevin
FARMER, Beatrice Valentine
GIBSON, Mark
GUNN, Henry
MEIKLE, Thomas
SHEARER, Ann Elizabeth Murray
WHITTAKER, Carole Leontine

They will join the two existing representatives – Eric Green and Bill Mowat, taking membership of the community council up to 9.
