The four people elected unopposed to Elton Parish Council are John Moseley, Cath Dawe, Nigel Mason and Colin Swindell.
There will also be no ballot to elect your representative for Derbyshire Dales District Council. Colin Swindell was the only candidate to put his name forward for the seat and has, therefore, been re-elected unopposed to serve for a further 4 years. Colin will serve as an Independent Candidate.
As the Parish Council is short of 2 members, candidates are being sought to fill the vacant seats.
