Thursday 2 Feb (north ward)
Owing to the enforced resignation of a former Tory councillor, a by-election will be held on 2nd Feb (8.00am - 9.00pm) to elect a replacement to serve on Swanage Town Council.
If you want a form for a postal vote call Purbeck District Council on 556561 after 18 January. Last day to apply for Postal Vote is 25 January.
This by-election is just for a seat in the north ward of Swanage. Polling cards will be sent soon, though you don't actually need a card to vote.

How much is all this going to cost? It sounds like a dire waste of money. Is there no alternative?
I understand that this will cost around £3500. The Council could have co-opted someone (as they recently did with Mike Hadley) for 15 months until the next election. The Lib Dems put Peter Clark forward (the candidate who gained the next highest number of votes in the last election). But this was not acceptable to the majority of the Council, so a by-election was called.
Result was:
Conservative (Gloria Marsh) 631 (49.6%)
Liberal Democrat (Peter Clark) 507 (39.88%)
Labour (Christine Rabsom) 133 (10.4%)
So Swanage Town Council now comprises:
10 Conservatives, I LIb Dem and 1 Labour
HOW VERY CONVENIENT FOR BILL TRIPE AND THE BLUEBOYS
