Electors call for by election in Madeley
A councillor stepped down after three years
Electors in a Telford town have called for a by election to fill a vacancy on the local council.
Telford & Wrekin Council has confirmed that the 10 signatures needed to call for a by election in the Madeley Village ward have been received.
The borough council added: “Further information will be published in due course.”
A vacancy was created on Madeley Town Council when Ruth Meadows stepped down after serving on the authority for three years.
It is looking set to be a busy summer for the borough's political parties ahead of the all-out elections in May 2027.
A by election is also on the cards to fill the Malinslee & Dawley Bank seat on Telford & Wrekin Council that was vacated by the authority's former Labour council leader, Telford MP Shaun Davies.
There are also vacancies on Hadley & Leegomery Parish Council and Wellington Town Council following the resignation of Usman Ahmed.
The deadline for signatures to call for by election to fill the Hadley & Leegomery and Wellington seats is June 3.
