Councillor Ged McGrath resigned from Millom Town Council recently and there is a new chair of the Council – Ray Williamson https://millomtowncouncil.uk/councillors/
Following on from the resignation there is now a vacancy for Holborn Hill Ward. The Town Council website has a notice https://millomtowncouncil.uk/2025/06/04/vacancy-notice-holborn-hill-ward/telling constituents that if they want a by-election ten constituents need to write to the Returning Officer to ask for one, otherwise the new councillor will be co-opted. In fact there has not been an election for Millom Town Council for years – the majority of Councillors have been co-opted.
This is a golden opportunity for locals to force an election and someone, say from Bank Head, could stand (you do not have to live in Holborn Hill ward). But ten folk need to write to the Returning Officer within 14 working days of the notice i.e. by 23rd June.
