A NOTICE of vacancy has been posted for a seat on Barnard Castle Town Council.
The vacancy arises following the resignation of Councillor Anne Francis.
Electors in the west ward of the town have until January 10 to request an election. The request must be made in writing and include signatures of ten electors.
Town council clerk Geoff Bosworth said: "Electors do not have to nominate anybody at this stage -they may just wish to see the election process carried out in full."
Requests should be sent to the Senior Committee and Elections Officer at Teesdale District Council, Teesdale House, 43 Galgate, Barnard Castle, DL12 8EL.
