THE THIRD by-election of this calendar year is set to be held in the coming weeks, following the retirement of a borough councillor.
Notice of vacancy for a borough council has been posted on Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council’s website following the retirement of Norden councillor George Hood.
This will be the third borough by-election to be called this year following two previous polls in Kempshott as well as a ‘by-thirds’ election in May.
A vote will be held within 35 days of the announcement.
Anyone who is interested in standing as a ward councillor in the Norden ward must submit a written request to the borough council’s returning officer to the civic offices in London Road.
