Here you go. Interestingly she is only stepping down from the city council and remains a county councillor. Ah well, trying to be city, county and MEP really would be impossible Gina Dowding currently wears exactly that triple-hat in Lancaster. I suspect she's waiting until we know whether we're going to be in the EU beyond October before making any moves. |

Vacancy in Ryhall & Casterton Ward of Rutland County Council.
An unusual cause - failure to sign acceptance of office (and by a long-standing cllr).
The offender (Chris Parsons IND) was re-elected (uncontested) in May. Ryhall & Casterton is a two-member ward; the other member is a CON.

My first thought is that councillor is probably unwell. |

Is it just me, or does Rutland have more than its fair share of vacancies?

But I see the revised structure gives even more councillors per head of population. Very approximately: Birmingham has 12,000 people per councillor Rutland has 1,500 people per councillor. [nb I'm using population rather than electorate for these calculations] |

Quite sensible timing with the double vacancy - the Tories would probably hold one in a double vacancy, but stand very little chance in a single vacancy... |
