Ross Town Council will be contesting a by-election over the next few weeks as the seat vacated by John Davies, who has gone to live abroad, will be up for grabs.

The Town Council has decided to save the cost of sending out polling cards. This means residents have to remember polling day is on May 27th and they just need to turn up to vote at Brampton Abbotts School or the Bowling Club.

Margaret Lucas will be standing for the Conservatives, Caroline Utting for the Liberal Democrats and John Stuart Gasston is standing as an Independent.

The by-election is in the Ross West Ward and voting will take place on Thursday, May 27th.
