Villagers have the chance to join a parish council after one of its member resigned.

If ten electors of Rawcliffe near Goole write to the chief executive of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council asking for a by-election by May 5, one will be held.

Otherwise the remaining councillors can co-opt someone to fill the vacancy on Rawcliffe Parish Council.

Anyone interested in being co-opted should contact its clerk Mrs V Whiteley, Old Fold Yard House, Westend, Rawcliffe, DN14 8RW, telephone 07761 801122, email: clerk@rawcliffeparishcouncil.org.uk, by April 15.
