By election at Old Gore
Citizens in the Old Gore ward of Herefordshire will vote in a by-election on Thursday, April 10.
It follows the resignation last week of Tessa McLean who will be leaving to undertake a new career abroad.
Conservative councillor Tessa McLean won the seat for Old Gore, situated to the north east of Ross-on-Wye, at the local elections in May last year from Independent councillor and council chairman John Edwards, in what was her first election contest.
