Sue Nicholson has resigned from Brigg Town Council. During her relatively short spell as one of our representatives she made regular contributions to the discussions, serving on the planning and environment, property and services and personnel committees.
It's likely a casual vacancy will be declared, meaning those interesting in filling the vacancy will be asked to write to the Town Council. Members will then consider the applications received and vote, if necessary, on a successor.
Further details will appear on Brigg Blog in due course.
Let's have an election!!
ReplyDeleteWhy should the council select councillors - however small, let the electorate do it.
An election will help to raise the profile of the council and perhaps reduce the pervading apathy.
I think you will find it only needs a certain number of electors, Ken, to request an election. However, the cost of staging one is very expensive.
