Forthcoming Aldermanic and
By-elections
Aldermanic vacancy - Ward of Dowgate
There is currently a vacancy of an Alderman in the Ward of
Dowgate due to the resignation of Alderman Gowman,
following the completion of a six year term, who intends
to seek re-election. During the notice of vacancy period the
Town Clerk received notification from someone who is not a Justice
of the Peace on the City Bench and so the potential candidate
must now apply to the Lord Chancellor's Advisory Committee to seek
approval to be appointed as a JP, as this is a
qualification to stand in an Aldermanic election.
The date of the election will be set when notification is
received by the Town Clerk from the Lord Chancellor's Advisory
Committee.
