VACANCY ON BRIGG TOWN COUNCIL


There's a vacancy on Brigg Town Council following the resignation of Coun Mel Oades.
If by Friday, May 23 a request for an election to fill the vacancy is made in writing to the Returning Officer at North Lincolnshire Council, having been signed by 10 electors, an election will be held in Brigg, not later than July 29. 
If such a request from 10 electors is not forthcoming, the vacancy will be filled by co-option. This involves interested and eligible people putting their names forward for consideration and Brigg Town Council's current members holding an election at a future meeting, should there be more than one candidate.
The Returning Officer's address is Civic Centre, Ashby Road, Scunthorpe, DN16 1AB.
Co-option is the method through which the vast majority of vacancies like this are filled.
