A PARISH council left in limbo for five months is due to swing into action again.
Residents of Burton Leon-ard, near Ripon, have been without a voice after four of the five councillors stepped down, leaving only the chairman, Councillor David Mellor.
Its last meeting was held on March 4, but when the elections were due in May there were not enough newcomers to form a quorum.
But by the next meeting, on July 15, there will be enough members.
The chairman will be joined by Francis Auckland and Jonathan Baker, both returned unopposed.
Coun Mellor said the council could function with three members but needed five to be fully effective.
