Now it's plan B as no election called for vacant seat on Ludlow Town Council
No requests have been made to hold an election to fill a vacant councillor seat on Ludlow Town Council.

It follows the resignation of Councillor Philip Adams earlier this year.
A co-option meeting has been set to be held on September 18.
A spokesperson for the town council said: "Following the resignation of Councillor Adams as a councillor for Whitcliffe ward, Shropshire Council elections have confirmed that there has been no request to hold an election, and in these circumstances, Ludlow Town Council invites applications for co-option."
If you are eligible and wish to be considered for co-option as councillor for Whitcliffe ward, please complete the application form available on Ludlow Town Council’s website ludlow.gov.uk and return it to assistant@ludlow.gov.uk by September 11, 2023.
