NEW members are being sought by Westbury Town Council.

The council held an extraordinary meeting on Monday to decide whether to launch a new promotional campaign.

Councillors say they want to fill all 15 seats on the town council in the May local elections.

The council said: “It’s really important to the town that we fill all 15 vacancies.”

At Monday’s meeting, councillors decided to spend £346.50 on printing a leaflet to distribute to residents.

The leaflet outlines the role councillors play in the local community and what's involved.

The town’s existing councillors are eligible to stand for re-election if they wish.

Representatives standing for Wiltshire Council will also be decided on the same date.

Candidates must be aged 18 and over, work in Westbury, occupy land or premises, live within three miles, or be registered to vote locally.

They have up to 4 pm on Thursday, April 8 to submit their nomination papers.
