Residents in Two Locks are being asked if they want to have a by-election to choose a new community councillor for their ward.

There is a vacancy with Cwmbran Community Council after Cllr Luke Simmonds stood down. Torfaen Council has published a notice to say that a by-election will be held if ten electors in the ward make a written request to Stephen Vickers, the council’s chief executive and proper officer for elections.

The ten requests must be submitted by 5pm on Tuesday 8 August. If ten requests are received, a date for the by-election will be announced.

If ten people do not ask for a by-election then Cwmbran Community Council will fill the vacancy by co-option.

This means people will be invited to apply to be the new Two Locks community councillor and councillors will choose who takes on the role.

You can email stephen.vickers@torfaen.gov.uk or write to him at Torfaen Council, Civic Centre, Pontypool, NP4 6YB.
