Voters in Whitby's West Cliff Ward will head to the polls this Thursday to choose between two candidates for a vacant town council seat.
Residents in Whitby are set to go to the polls this week to elect a new member of their town council.
An election for Whitby Town Council’s West Cliff Ward will be held this week on Thursday, July 9.
The election will see two candidates compete to take up a seat on the parish council, which consists of 19 councillors who generally serve for a four-year term.
The candidates are Bev Breese and Amanda Louise Everson.
All councillors’ roles are voluntary, and members do not receive remuneration for the work.
Residents of the West Cliff ward will be able to vote at Whitby Leisure Centre’s Community Room on Thursday.
The polls will open at 7am and members of the public will be able to cast their ballots until 10pm on July 9.
The by-election arose following Sarah Blackwell’s resignation earlier this year.
The next full meeting of Whitby Town Council is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, July 28.
