A by-election for a Parish Councillor was held on Thursday for a seat in Murray Ward.
Henry Pickett, an Independent candidate, won with 166 votes beating David Alexander of UKIP who received 110 votes. The overall turnout was 13%.
Henry Pickett is 18 years old and lives in Downs Ward. As a Parish Councillor he will also be involved in decisions that affect the area as a whole.
Well done to Henry and we anticipate that his youth and energy will bring some fresh enthusiasm to the Parish Council.
