The General Election may be over but voters in one Sandbach ward could be going to the polls again.

Candidates will fight for one seat on Sandbach Town Council's Elworth ward following the resignation of Kathryn Flavell who moved out of the area to be nearer family in Scotland as we revealed here.

Candidates have until 4 pm on Friday (July 26th) to get their papers in for the by-election which if contested will take place on Thursday, August 22nd. The vacancy is advertised on Sandbach Council Council's website here

Sandbach Town Council is made up of 20 councillors across four wards - Town Ward, Sandbach Heath and East Ward, Ettiley Heath and Wheelock Ward and Elworth Ward.

Councillors are elected by public vote every four years. Any vacancies occurring outside of the four yearly election may be filled by co-option or a by-election.
