Parish Council Election

As we all should know all Cambourne Parish Councillors are due to retire and an election is to be held on 5th May 2016. Reading the CPC website there is nothing about this. On its front page CPC says the following: The Parish Council is the tier of Local Government closest to the people. Yet this government closest to the people has not informed the people it is closest to there is an election! 

Why not? I can only speculate. Of course elections cost money and not informing the people and not holding a poll of course would save money. This is not democratic!
