Will Winchelsea finally get a ward councillor who is a resident of the village? Following the resignation of another co-opted non-resident councillor, residents have called a bye election
Following the surprise resignation of the latest co-opted parish councillor for the parish ward of Winchelsea (see A Very Casual Vacancy), this time within a month of being co-opted, a group of residents has called for a by-election. They say their aim is to try to ensure that Icklesham Parish Council does not once again ignore candidates from Winchelsea and co-opt a resident of another ward, as the council has done on two previous occasions.
A notice signed by more than the required 10 voters was sent to the Returning Officer at Rother last week. However, Rother has yet to acknowledge the demand and announce a bye election. Once that happens, there will be a call for candidates to come forward. It is understood that one of the Winchelsea signatories is willing to stand as a candidate. Whether there will be a contested bye election may depend on whether parish councillors from other wards try to field their own candidate.
