Ilminster Town Council Declares 3 Councillor Vacancies
Following the recent resignations of 3 people from Ilminster Town Council, formal declaration of the vacancies has now been made.
The Mayor, Councillor Val Keitch explained “Declaring the vacancies is the first step to getting new Town Councillors. The vacancy notice says that there are currently 3 vacancies and that unless 10 or more people contact South Somerset District Council by 13 June 2016 to request an election the vacancies will be filled by co-option. It is therefore down to the people of Ilminster whether or not there is an election so I would encourage people to think carefully about what they would like and contact South Somerset District Council if they believe an election is the best way forward.”
Ilminster electors who wish to request an election should make sure that their written request is addressed to the Proper Officer at South Somerset District Council, Council Offices, Brympton Way, Yeovil, BA20 2HT and is received by 13 June 2016.
