THERE are two vacancies on Ludlow Town Council.

The gaps that need to be filled are in the Gallows Bank and Hayton wards.

If 10 or more residents in each ward request a by-election then there will be a poll otherwise the places will be filled by co-option.

The deadline for requesting a poll is next Tuesday (May 5).

To have a full complement Ludlow Town Council needs to have 16 members.

In Tenbury there will also need to be the co-option of two councillors as only 11 are standing for the 13 places.
