Grantham: Three-way fight in SKDC by-election

By The Editor

6th Oct 2021 | Local News

Three candidates will be fighting it out in a district council by-election for the Grantham Arnoldfield Ward.

The candidates are Stuart Fawcett (Labour Party), Kaffy Rice-Oxley (Conservative Party) and Mike Turner ( Green Party).

The vacancy follows the recent resignation of Coun Helen Goral, a former cabinet member on South Kesteven District Council, as Nub News previously reported.

The by-election will be held on Thursday 28 October, the same date as the vote for two vacancies on Stamford Town Council and a further vacancy in Stamford for the district council.

To take part, people must ensure they are registered to vote, with the deadline for this being Tuesday 12 October. More details on this can be found on the SKDC website.

SKDC Chief Executive Karen Bradford said: "It is important to be registered to vote if you want to have a voice in these elections and a say in the future of your area. You can visit our website for details on this, particularly if you have recently moved house or have turned 18."

Polling Cards with details of where to vote are being sent out and those who have not received theirs yet will receive them shortly.

For those who do not wish to vote in person, a postal vote is available, but the deadline to apply for this is Wednesday 13 October. People can also nominate someone to vote in their place, via a Proxy Vote. All details on both options can be found here.

Polling stations will be open between 7am and 10pm on 28 October for eligible residents to visit and cast their vote.
