Notice of Vacancies in the Office of Councillor, Loatland Ward (May 2021)

Following the election, the Council has four vacant seats for Loatland Ward.  Normally, any casual vacancy has to be offered to the electors in the ward to requisition a by-election, and if no election is requested then the Council may co-opt. 

However, following whole Council elections the Representation of the People Act 1985 says the Council should first consider co-options.  The Council will consider filling these vacancies at the Council meeting on 20 May 2021.

If you are interested in applying to be considered for co-option, please download the guidance and application form.
