A BY-ELECTION has been called in Westbury to fill the town and district council vacancies following the death of Councillor John Annetts, who died in July, aged 68.
There will be elections for both seats in the town on October 17.
Potential candidates have until noon today to submit their nomination papers. The town council ward covers the whole of Westbury, while the district ward is Westbury plus the parish ward of Heywood Storridge.
Anyone who thinks they will have difficulty getting to a polling station on election day can apply for a postal vote before October 2. To request a form, contact the elections team on (01225) 770312.
