NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN under Section 87(2) of the Local Government Act 1972 that, due to the resignation of Sarah-Jane McDonough, a vacancy has arisen in the office of Borough Councillor for the Roebuck Ward of the Borough of Stevenage.

All requests for a by-election must be made in writing to me at the address below, and by two local government electors within the Stevenage local authority area for a by-election to take place.

By virtue of the Coronavirus Act 2020 and The Local Government and Police and Crime Commissioner (Coronavirus) (Postponement of Elections and Referendums) (England and Wales) Regulations 2020 the by-election will not currently take place, and the vacancy will be held open until the by-election takes place.
