Redruth Town Councillor Vacancy
As you will see, due to the resignation of one of our Town Councillors, we currently have a vacancy. We will know by 13th February if there will be an election for this seat, or whether the vacancy will be filled by co-option.
If there is an election, we will publish details of how you can apply on our website and social media on 13th February. If there isn’t an election, there will be a co-option process, where interested candidates are invited to pitch to the Town Council why they would like to be a Councillor and what skills they can bring! The Full Council then decides who to co-opt. Further details will be published in due course, so watch this space for updates.
