Thousands of Richmondshire
residents are going to the polls next month to elect district and
parish councillors.
30 District Council seats in 20
wards are up for grabs – 64 candidates are vieing for those
seats.
Only four seats are uncontested:
Addlebrough – Yvonne Peacock, Hornby Castle – Melva Steckles, Lower
Wensleydale – Keith Loadman and Middleham – Rachel Allen.
There will also be elections for parish
councillors in four parishes (subject to no candidate withdrawing).
And every elector gets the chance to have their say in the yes/ no
referendum on alternative voting systems for general elections.
The district’s Polling Stations will be
open from 7am until 10pm on Thursday May 5.
Votes will be counted on Friday May 6 with
all results posted on this
website.
- Anyone wanting to register to vote on May
5 – or needs a postal vote – has until April 14 to apply.
