A BY-ELECTION will be held in May to fill a vacancy in a Hambleton council ward.
The poll has been prompted by the resignation of Coun Nigel Clack in Hambleton District Council’s Whitestonecliffe ward.
It will be held on May 2, the same day as the North Yorkshire County Council elections, and anybody wanting to stand must send their nomination papers to the district council by noon on April 5.
Nomination packs are available from the electoral services section at the Civic Centre in Northallerton or by phoning 01609 767131.
