Cllr Ben Bradley Resigns from Ashfield District Council

The Conservative Councillor for Hucknall North Ben Bradley has resigned his position on Ashfield District council following his election as the MP for Mansfield in June.

Despite assurances during his election bid for both the Hucknall North Division in May 2017’s County Council elections and the June 2017 Snap General Election that winning in Mansfield would not affect his ability to represent Hucknall North effectively he has obviously had a change of heart having won both seats.

Official notice of the Vacancy for Hucknall North was posted on the Ashfield District Council website on Friday 1st September, and can be viewed here – https://www.ashfield.gov.uk/media/3398/notice-of-vacancy-district.pdf.

The Liberal Democrats are in the process of selecting their candidate for the by-election, and the date of the election has yet to be announced (although it is expected to be early October 2017), but we will announce the candidate once selected.
