Results

Only 5 candidates vied and were elected unopposed for the 9 available seats, meaning a by-election was due to take place in March 2023 to fill the 4 vacant seats.

On 15 March 2023 a by election was held to fill the 4 vacant seats, but only two candidates stood, so were duly appointed, leaving two seats still vacant. [2]
