LABOUR Party candidate Janet Snooks has taken the vacant North Ward seat on Westbury Town Council in an uncontested local by-election.
The lack of other candidates meant that no poll took place last Thursday (November 7) and Ms Snooks, of Southay, Bratton, was duly elected to the seat.
The vacancy was created by the resignation of Cllr Chris Charlton, who is a senior building surveyor and also a retained firefighter in Westbury for Dorset and Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service.
