As there are two vacancies, the by election on 6th May will be to fill both of these vacancies. Any candidates who have previously submitted a nomination paper last year, if they wish to stand again, they need to submit a new nomination paper. Potential candidates will need to submit by email a copy of their nomination paper for an informal check between the 22nd and 26th March. They will then need to hand deliver their nomination paper by appointment only to Borough Hall where it will be processed. As access to Borough Hall is currently restricted, we have to limit the days we can accept these in which will be Tuesday 30th March 2021 and Thursday 1st April 2021.
