The deadline to put your name forward for a town councillor vacancy is tomorrow.

The vacancy on Beaminster Town Council comes after Julie Cooke resigned as a councillor.

Applicants have until 12pm tomorrow (Friday) to qualify for nomination.

If a request for an election to fill the vacancy is made by ten electors an election will be held to fill the vacancy, otherwise the town council will invite those interested to submit their details and the vacancy will be filled by co-option.

This would be open to Beaminster residents, or those that have a business in the town, and care about the town and its community.
