By-election in Chipping Sodbury this week

There will be a by-election for the North East ward of Sodbury Town Council on Thursday this week. This ward covers the St Johns Way and Gorlands Road areas, including the streets off them.

If you are in the area you should have had a polling card from South Glos Council, but you don't need the card to be able to vote. If you have arranged for a postal vote you should have received the papers by now - if not you should contact South Glos Council.

The vacancy is caused by the resignation of a Conservative councillor. The Green Party called for an election to be held, so there will be three candidates - Liberal Democrat Focus Team, Green Party and Conservative.
