People living in a number of villages near Brigg will be going to the polls in two council elections.
Councillors will be elected for wards represented by Coun Lewis Strange until his death in May last year.
Former farmer Lewis, who lived in Grasby, was a member of Brigg Rotary Club and Brigg Hockey Club for many years as well as playing cricket for Brocklesby Park. He was very well-known in the town and is pictured above right supporting a Rotary event held on a Brigg Farmers' Market Saturday.
There will be elections on Thursday, May 6 for the Kelsey Ward he represented on West Lindsey District Council and also to fill the Market Rasen Wolds seat he held on Lincolnshire County Council.
The area covered by these wards includes Kettleby, Bigby, Grasby, Searby, Owmby and North and South Kelsey.
By-elections could not be held in the Kelsey or Market Rasen Wolds because of restrictions imposed by the Government because of the Coronavirus emergency.
