That there's a parish vacancy, not a district seat. Both district councillors for Red Lodge ward are still members.

Financial reasons? Any more detail?

[libfozzy]

I don't know specifics. Something to do with a grant I believe, although I wouldn't take that as read. Llanddewi Brefi is a non-Political Community Council, so I'm not really expecting a very contested by-election.

One of the Only Gay in the village sketches did involve a by-election in the aforementioned place.
