North Lincolnshire Council by-elections announced

Two by-elections will be held early next month to elect councillors to North Lincolnshire Council.

Axholme North and Brumby wards will each elect a councillor on Thursday, June 6, with polls open 7am to 10pm. The by-elections follow the sad deaths of long-standing council and community stalwarts John Brigg and Steve Swift, who were councillors for the Conservatives and Labour respectively.

Steve Swift represented Brumby as one of its three Labour ward councillors, John Brigg was one of the two members for Axholme North, which includes Crowle and Ealand.
