All District Council vacancies will be listed at the bottom of this page when they arise.

A District Council vacancy may arise for a number of reasons; a councillor may have resigned, passed away, or have failed to attend any meetings for six months.

The vacancy occurs on the date of receipt of the resignation notice or the date of death, although the public notice may be delayed for a respectful period.

A by-election can be called by a request made in writing to the Council's Proper Officer by 2 electors from the Local Authority area. If an election is called it must be held within 35 days of the notice.
