Ludlow town council has begun the process of filling an empty councillor seat after Graham Perks resigned.

Mr Perks had served on the council for 20 years and is well known in town for being chairman of the Ludlow War Memorial Fund.

Ludlow Town Council published a notice of vacancy for Gallows Bank Ward within hours of his resignation.

A new councillor could be elected through a by-election, in which case ten signatures from the ward must be submitted to Shirehall by 11 February.

If a by-election is not called by electors, a new councillor will be co-opted by existing councillors.
