VOTERS will head to the polls today to elect a member onto Lyme Regis Town Council.

The by-election was called after Liz Robinson resigned from the authority in March due to work commitments.

Former mayor of Lyme Regis Ken Dibben is going head-to-head with experienced businessman Jeff Scowen for a place on the council.

Polls opened at 7am and will close at 10pm - with polling stations situated at Woodmead Halls and Hallett Court Communal Room, Queens Walk.
