Nominations to elect councillors to the three vacant positions in Atherstone Town Council's Central Ward have been announced today (April 9).

The other vacancy, in the South Ward, of ATC is to be filled by co-option as no election was called.

Martin Barnett (Labour), Jake Braithwaite (Labour), Pauline Gurney (Conservative), and Derek Pickard (Labour) will contest the three Central Ward vacancies.

The Atherstone Town Council by-election will take place on Thursday, May 6 alongside Warwickshire County Council, Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner and North Warwickshire Borough Council elections.
