By-election for Newport West as councillor steps down
A by-election will take place for the Telford & Wrekin Council Newport West ward following former councillor Adam Stanton’s decision to step down.
Mr Stanton has stepped down as a councillor due to work relocation away from the borough.
Mr Stanton, who was first elected a councillor in 2007, said that he felt he could no longer perform the duties he had been elected to do, so had decided to resign.
A by-election will take place for the vacant Newport West ward in late October. Anyone registered to vote in the ward will be contacted in due course with details of the by election.
Council managing director Richard Partington said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adam Stanton for all his hard work on behalf of the community and the borough since he became a councillor.
“I also urge anyone who lives in the ward but is not registered to vote to do so at www.gov.uk/registertovote as soon as possible to make sure that they can have their say in this by-election.”
