Shropshire Council has informed us that no by-election has been called for this vacant seat. The Parish Council is now able to co-opt to fill this vacancy, and will agree a date for receiving and considering applications at the next Council meeting on 17th April 2023.
————————-
There is a second vacant seat on Ruyton XI Towns Parish Council following the resignation of Cllr Bob Edwards on 7th March. This means that local electors have until 27th March to request a by-election to fill this seat. The notice below explains how a request for a by-election can be made to Shropshire Council.
If no request for a by-election is made, then the Parish Council will be able to co-opt to fill the seat.
Bob has been a parish councillor for many years, during which time he has been a very active member of the Safer Roads Group, both as a member of the public and a councillor. Whilst we are sad to lose Bob as a Councillor, we are very happy that he has agreed to stay on the Safer Roads Group until the CIL road safety improvements project is finalised.
